dash clocks going mental

Post by whipsey »

i've got a v reg citroen xsara vts which has a problem with the dash clocks where when you turn the ignition on the needles spin all the way round rather than sitting at the stops sometimes when running it go's back to normal and the rev counter etc all work could this be a bad earth as it seems like the clocks have reversed polarity

Multiplexed Xsaras can do strange things like this when the voltage is low when the battery is weak although I can't be certain that this would be the cause since yours is before they were fully multiplexed.
