Hey guys Having a few problems with my digital dash, Problem: If there is no fuel in the tank or the tank is on empty does the green bar on the dash light up for fuel??? If so, does anyone know if the fuel reading goes directly to the tanks sender? Or does it bypass through fuses and/or relays to get there? Is there any way to test the fuel reading on the dash by giving it some voltage (either + or -). Problem 2: Whenever I hold high beam on or flick it on or off the dash lights go crazy and randomly turn on and off. I think this is due to the light sensor which adjusts the brightness of the dash. Anyone else had this specific problem..???

The fuel related problem to me sounds like it may be the sender unit in the tank. The wires from the sender unit to the digital cluster go throught no fuses or realys. Due to the nature and age of some of these clusters the switchmode powersupply that is in them isnt very stable with voltage fluctions. THis would be one reason why it could be fluctating. I dobut that the auto dim would do this as the auto dime steps it down over five second intervals. Maybe check for bad connection on the back of the cluster. Other than that id have to suggest you take it to vdo and get a change over unit as most of these clusters are not able to be repaired by an amature.
