NO instuments working (HELP)

[widget]

hi there
i have a 406 hdi (110) 2002 and on my way home the radio went off and the speedo, rev counter and temp clocks stopped working but the car runs fine
when i parked up i took the key out but the instrument lights are still on
any ideas on how to fix would be appreciated
thanks

Sounds like a BSI shot. Try a reset procedure

Hi
Disconnect the battery on your car, leave for a few mins to ensure the power has drained from the BSI and ECU. Re-connect and see if normal operation has resumed, if not the BSI that operates the electrical system on your vehicle located behind / below the fuse box in the drivers foot well may have become defective.

Hope this helps

thanks disconnected the battery all seemed fine for a few mins then back to normal

anyone got any ideas how much a bsi unit is ?

Do a search on here for the BSI reset procedure. Also, check the carpet for dampness

A BSi is VERY expensive. You'd be better off getting a BSI and engine ECU from a car with the same engine in a breakers yard.

From my limited knowledge of BSi's it is not as simple as just swapping them. Lots of coding in them specific to the car, so "things" don't work if BSI in the wrong car. End of my knowledge but others may know more about how to get it reprogrammed.

Which is why I also said engine ECU

It would also need setting up again by a dealer or someone with pp2000 - coding the stereo to it, configuring any features, etc
