Hey there i got a 1993 mini mayfair. The two clock dash instruments are not working, this includes the lights, petrol and temp gauge, both warning and oil lights. I read up that if the red warning light doesnt work then the car struggles to charge (unsure if this is correct) however with this instruments not working has had an effect on my car charging very strangle lol. I cleaned n changed the fuses on the fuse box and checked the fuses near the dash they all seem fine. What should i change for the dash to work. really need help.
Thanks Scott.

you will need to remove the clocks and check the printed circuit board on the back, these are prone to failure but not usually absolutely everything packs up though.

Have you checked to see that the large mutli plug connector on the back of the speedo cluster is connected and engaged fully, that would be the obvious culprit if nothing at all is working. :thumbsup:
