Tamd61 instrument panel fail

[funinthesun]

Hello,
Hopefully one of you clever people will have a suggestion .
Volvo TAMD61a Port engine gauges are not registering any info. Also the 3 warning lights don't show on starting the engine, the glow plug light no.4 does illuminate as it should. Any ideas?

Reset fuse has tripped.

I tried these, the two buttons on the front of the port engine black box, but to no avail. Could they be faulty?

Could be as one is live and is earth

Thanks volvopaul I'll swap them out and see what happens

So swapped the 2 x semi automatic fuses on the engine control box but no change, still no gauges or warning lights, anything else I could check?

12v pos and neg to gauges

There is a red/blue wire from the ign switch which is the supply to the gauges when the ignition is on. Check for 12v and work from the switch, if there is power up to the guages then check the black earth wire goes to earth.

Wondering if this one was cured? I have a simular problem and wondered if anyone had any ideas. My Fairline Corniche has the same gauges I think and I suffer from "lazy" gauges as the previous owner called it!! Just the port side saloon set And recently the port side fuel gauge simply whacks straight over to super full! (Possibly unrelated)
All of the gauges rpm,oil etc etc read low wonder if its a dodgy earth?
Been like it for a good while now but if anyone has any thoughts i would appreciate it.

Cheers, Colin.
