Anyone got any suggestions for me please.

Symptoms are.
Spent weekend working on car (bleeding brakes, cleaning wheels, adjusting alternator & a leak on inlet gasket). I noticed the interior light wasnt on when opening doors etc, thought nothing of it but now I have no dash lights/ign when turning key all the way, no hazard lights etc. However the engine will start & run also the headlights work off the switch.

When engine is running I have no gauge/dash readouts apart from rev counter & the battery warning lamp lights as does the handbrake light....

Miffed. No wiring disturbed.

It'll be a fuse, can't remember which one, but I think it also feeds the radio.

I did plug in the headunit wiring plugs...... could make sense.

you might have nipped the insulation on the radio cage and popped the fuse. ive seen a lot of novas treated in this way, it is a shame.

its common when people use an isoblock adapter or extension, lots of length and it gets trapped.

hope its simple!
