Along with my engine swap ive fitted a new dash and im having some dial issues.
 
My tacho isnt working and my odometer works in position 2 but when the engine is running the digital numbers disappear altogether.
 
The oil preassure gauage goes all the way to the top and stays there.
 
Nt sure about speedo as im still waiting for my calipers to come back from the powder coaters so I carnt dirve anywhere to test it.
 
The rev counter on my apexi commander and avcr work so im assuming the signal is fine.
 
I thought it may have been the plugs not correctly located so I removed my dials and tried a spare set I have without the cowel etc so i could doubble check the plugs and its the same story so im ruleing out the plugs
 
Ive also checked the 12 pin plug in the drivers footwell above the fuse box and that is securley plugged in so im lost.
What else can I try, for example are there any fuses that could be blowm or any other plugs to check?

Common prob on FD clocks, sadly. Think it\'s something to do with dry joins in the solder meaning you get erratic contacts...often they pack up altogether. Usually people replace the entire clockset as the easiest option

Ive rueld out the clocks themselves as they were perfect before the build and I tried a spare set and had exactly the same issues. Also it would seem unlikley that both sets of clocks that worked faultlesley a year ago would have developed exactly the same faults as each other just sat in my garage.

There is a white plug which connects the clock loom,  from the loom in the engine bay, which if you stick your head under the glove box at the back in the passenger side you\'ll see, is this connected?
