Renault 19 Turbo Diesel non-working gauges

Hi All,

Here in deepest Brittany, the gauges on my (French) next-door neighbour's R19 dt have stopped working and also there are no warning lights; the only things working on the dash are the indicator repeaters.

Since I'm an ex-mechanic, he asked me to have a look so I checked all the usual suspects: connections, fuses, relays, etc. The engine starts and runs, the lights and wipers work, it just seems to be a dash related problem.

What I really need is a wiring diagram; does anyone know of one online, or can anyone shed a little light on this problem?

Thanks for any help you can give...

Can't furnish you with wiring diagrams but it does sound like a fuse (instrument panel feed) , although I'd expect the charge light to still work.

Possibility an earthing issue (either one of the main ones, not that likely) or one near the panel.

If it comes out easily, it might be worth whipping the panel out to look at the wiring / plugs and checking there's earth connections still present.
