It doesn't run from the same fuse as the interior light.

It shares the fuse with the cig lighter, and heated rear window if i remember rightly.
Its fuse 18, a 20A.
Interior light etc is the fuse next to it.

Will i benefit from doing the paper clip test on this??? or will that just be a waste of time if a wire is shorted? see the management light does come on..... and stays on thanks..

well, if the interior light works, the fuse for the speedo is fine too.

right so what do i check for in the sender? a cable thats been burnt???? thanks

Do the dials light up when the lights are on?

Check the wiring to the sender, sounds like its shorting somewhere.

yeh the fuse number is 18, it just blows every time i put a new fuse in there?? interior light is still working but the cigarrette lighter has been disconnected since a year ago when i got it????

It's the orange fuse I think, There is a spare one underneath it horizontally.

Just have a look if its the fuse, take it off and you'll see straight away ;)

can you all stay put and i will post the fuse number in an hour as im at uni at the minute thanks for the help!

Does your interior light work?

is there something stuck in your fag lighter?

What number fuse is it? Tell us that and we can tell you what electric circit it fuses and therefore tell you what could be at fault :)

also one of my fuses keeps on blowing, it is a 20amp fuse everytime i put a new fuse in 5 minutes later it is blown again??? thanks

So what part do i need and how easy to fit? thanks

Your electronic speedo sender has come unplugged/broken.

1999 mate... 1.2 sxi 16v
