UK Car Repair: Dash on a Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 16v sxi, vauxhall vectra, loose wire


Question
hi, i recently got a Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 16v sxi and the dash display (milage clock) is digital and ever so often the display for this fades or the digits disappear. like there is a loose wire? is this the case or is it more complicated.

Answer
Well it could be a bad connection somewhere and if so it may be hard to find. The best you can do is to connect and reconnect tyhe plugs. More likely it is a transistor problem which would mean replacing the whole panel. You might be able to find used one on the internet.
