Vauxhall Corsa dashboard looses all power

hi remove the cluster and pad the wiring loom connecter with foam so it pushes it harder to the base connecter, u will under stand it when its removed

Have an 01 corsa and this intermittent fault has been going on for 4 years-first time l was on M25 coming back from London.RAC and various garages cant find fault so l have continued to drive it.Everything still works outside.eg lights,indicators.

hi

i have a problem with my corsea sxi 2003 at the moment. It only happens so often. When I am driving my car, my ignition light will come on and all the needles on the dashboard e.g. the petrol light, mph temeperature will all drop to 0. Within seconds the ignition light will go off and all the needles will be fine. It only happens a few times a week not everyday. The car will still be driving when this happens.

hi could you please tell me where the wiring loom is please as my wife is having the same problem thank you

mastertech could you explain where the cluster is please

If your dash clocks are coming and going, and also an intermittent start, the problem is due to a loose connection at the back of the dash clocks. You need to remove the steering cowling, and panels to remove the clocks to fix it. When you have the clocks out, the block connector will stay mounted in the dash. To fix the problem, remove the block connector and put 2 small pieces of foam or something similar at the sides where the block connector sits to keep it pushed out a small bit. Refit the clocks and this will solve your problem. The reason it fails to start when the clocks are not working is that the engine ECU has to receive a signal for the immobiliser which comes from the clocks. This should sort it for you :-)

i have same problem with my speedometer working intermittently.
how do you remove the steering cowling to get to the back of it?

sorry i meant odometer
