Elise S3 dash display

[Paulprior]

Just put the Elise back on the road after a winter hibernation, now when I turn the ignition on I get a strange display, rpm goes to 4K then to zero, next the speedo goes to 80 then zero, next all the display lights flash on then off, after this the sequence restarts from the beginning, it’s the same with engine on or off and the car starts up and runs correctly, just no speedo, rpm or any other display, any ideas ???
Sorry, should mention that it’s a 2014 S3 220

Might be worth posting over on SELOC as there a probably more Lotus owners there.

I've seen this on my Exige. Fix was to disconnect the car battery for a minute or so and then re connect it. It should then be fine. Also check your battery voltage has at least 12.2v or ideally 12.6v as they will drop voltage over time just sitting there. Disconnect Negative lead only.
