por cierto, e revisado todos los fusibles despues de poner el que se fundio y estan todos bien.le enchufe el ordenador y le ice un test pero de lo que izo el test me marcaba todo correcto. e estado pensando que pueda ser un rele o que la centralita se alla vuelto loca.......aver si tu supieras decirme.

No estoy seguro de que se trata. Voy a preguntar en el foro Ingles y despues, si alguien lo sabe te lo digo.

Right guys, given Google's attempt at a translation is complete ballcocks I've asked the guy to write in Spanish. My wife speaks Spanish but it's a bit hard to understand as she doesn't know how to speak car, however it looks like this guy was changing his dashboard illumination about and slipped with the test probe. He's fixed the fuse but what's happening now is he's not got any illumination on his mileage display unless he turns the lights on, and the display on his MFD is on all the time, even with the key out. The car's a 1998 according to his profile. He's already asked on the Spanish 406 forum but they couldn't help him, so now he's getting desperate. Anyone got any ideas?

It's a while since I drove my D8 but I think the mileage display dims out when the lights go on, so there must be a direct feed to the bulbs when they're not on which he's fubarred. Also, the MFD staying on sounds mightily familiar

(he swapped his dash board ilumination about)

What has he changed the bulbs?

if hes fitted led's this couid be the cause,


finding out what hes changed might help, ipresume going off (he swapped his dash board ilumination about)

[djvallejo]

aver. la iluminacion la cambie por tiras de led. todo iba bien asta que fui a comprobar si estaba bien puesto el positivo y el negativo en la pantalla y se me escurrio la punta de el comprobador y quemo el fusible.e probado a quitar las tiras de led que puse y nada. sabeis alguno de que es cada relay de el coche? si hay algo que no entienda digamelo y lo pongo de otra forma.

[steve_earwig]

They were LEDs but he's taken them out Lozz.

No one knows?

[steve_earwig]

I will get my wife to translate this when she has time.

When the lights are off the panel lights (el cuadro de luces?) are brighter, when the lights are on there is another supply with a lower voltage but I am not sure how this is done. I suspect it is in the panel itself but I am not sure as I have no diagrams for your car. Could you try another panel?

[djvallejo]

but, if I put other panel would lose my km?

tomorrow upload a video you to look better what happens, better?

[steve_earwig]

Ok. Your car is 1998 yes?
