I used my Tuscan to day ( I have the same dashboard as Tamora, Sagaris, T350) and I discover it was impossible to swich off my dash! Engine stopped, closed doors... always dials and computer figures are switched on bright, and a small noise runs behind the dash. Could you help me?
Thank you so much

Stuck relay maybe or the alternator is on its way out. Reach under the airbox and feel the alternator, is it warm?. When mine started like this (which was the alternator diode pack failing) pushing the brake pedal would switch the dash off.

If it is a stuck relay you should be able to turn off the dash by flipping the right stalk up. Not exactly a permanent fix but will save disconnecting the battery etc for the time being every time you stop .
