All instruments other than the clock ceased to function;
The battery warning light illuminated:
All other electrically driven equipment functioned.
When the car was started and driven at low speeds the battery warning light was not illuminated but as soon as driven at speed the battery light illuminated.
At home tested with a multimeter at the battery:
No Ignition: 12.54V
Ignition on: 12.22V
Engine started and idling: 11.93V
Engine revved (same speed that battery warning lights was illuminated): 13.64V
Can anyone shed some light on what my problem is please?
You have a short somewhere. I wouldn't blame the central informer just yet. Have you been working on the ignition system at all recently?
Recently, i had blown the 7.5 amp fuse for central gauges after changing out an ignition coil, It was the spring clip on the ignition coil harness that was touching the back plate.
In the process I managed to fry the hydraulic pressure switch for the C4 pump.
I made the mistake of fitting a 10a fuse, (which promptly blew) before i traced it back to the ignition
I had this exact problem earlier this year. No gauges, same fuse constantly blowing.
Check the central informer - p/n: 964 641 330 00. This box sits next to the steering column under the dash (my car is RHD so it may be a different position on your LHD) and controls all the warning lights in the car including the centre console lights.
This was my problem, picked up a new one from a wrecker.
There are two plugs controlling 2 different circuits. My suggestion is to unplug both, then plug back in just one. Replace the fuse and start the car. Then repeat with the other plug and a new fuse. I found that only one of my circuits was bad causing the fuse to blow.
I am in Australia and just received a SH Central Informer from the states which when installed again blew the fuse.
Testing with one plug installed at a time brought the same result, blown fuses.
I have it booked in at the auto electrician so will post what is found.
