Basically i have no speedo, rev counter, fuel gauge, gear selection indicator, temp gauge and the boot wont open
I opened the car as normal this morning, i went to start my 2001 2.0 147 lusso ts selespeed and discovered the display/instrument panel was dead,there was backlight to it but all the mfd were not showing a reading, ie petrol level was on nothing, no gear showing etc, after the active check stopped it showed no problem so i started it coz i had to go out and basically the same but now nothing that usually liven's up when the car is running is showing a reading
I was driving along with no speedo, the odometer was not oging up at all on any reading, fuel gauge was still on nothing, still no gear showing but i was driving along fine and the brakes were working perfectly, now this is where the fun begins as although the dashboard was dead basically it was showing 3 lights, they were the abs warning light - ebd light and the vcd light.
Now without thinking alot of you will immediately think well your brakes are not working properly and you should see a alfa specialist asap as that is what it says in the book etc, but think about this before posting back when i started the car the check revealed no problems and as it says in the book that you will have a message also, but no message as i was driving.
Also i checked the lights and they were working fine and indicator's but not showing up at all on the display unit as they do when u indicate etc and still no gear showing in that space.
Also and this may be a key factor the boot would not unlock at all,when i tried to use the remote instead of unlocking it only the 2 indicator lights at the back flasked twice and it did not open? even from the the inside button, the radio was working fine the car was driving completely as normal, it would lock/unlock via remote as normal but the boot wouldnt unlock
Thanks alot in advance if you lot can solve this problem for me
so basically i hope one of you has had this problem before and can report to me the solution
edit -- just went out in it again as i had to and is driving perfectly and the brakes are cool also but now realised the windows arent working also...?
