94 Chimaera Dead Dash Gauges
Discussion
Greetings all.
An electrical gremlin has taken root in my 94 Chimaera 400.
Before the gremlin arrived, the car had been starting/running fine, all electrics operating as expected.
Horn hadalways sounded sort of plaintive so I went to test it as a first step before sorting. With the ignition in "run", engine not running, immobilser not messed with, I pressed the horn button. Horn sounded for a half sec or so, then died out.
So, I stuck in the immob key and started the engine. Engine started up just the same as before the horn died and idled fine.
But now, with the engine idling, none of the dash instruments will come alive - fuel gauge, oil press gauge, temp gauge are all dead. Turn signals and headlights no longer work, horn is still dead. The central door unlock knob still works the doors OK. Hazard flashers still work.
All the fuses are good.
I have the SH bible, and some other schematics/diagrams from around the web, but am flummoxed as to how to work this out. (SH diagram shows "Block C", "Block G", "Block I", "Block K", "Dashboard", but no info on what these connection points go to.
Is this a relay problem - if so which one?
Does anyone know of a set of electrical diagrams for a Chim that show the electr aspects that are missing from the SH diagram?
Thanks......
