Aston DB9 instrumentation panel dead, any ideas?

[Mistress]

Hi, can anyone give me a clue as to what is wrong. The whole instrumentation panel has stopped,but speedo stuck at 45mph (speed i was doing when panel went off). So power steering harder as well. Still got headlights, indicators but it doesn't show on the dash. Glove box won't open either?! Can't see speed or fuel or anything.... any ideas??

Hi most probably blown one of the fuses in the passenger foot well, underneath the carpet, there is a metal panel that will require removal to show the cem fuse box, check fuse 46, numbers are very small and difficult to read, there are a few other possibilities as well but this is where I would start,

should have got a green one..!!!!!

Big thank you to Rick-Derby, you were spot on with it, the fuse No46 had blown. I can't thank you enough, you are a legend, a gem, I am such a happy bunny! So much for a certain dealership that said it would need diagnostics done as they didn't know. Thank You Piston Heads x

Hi, and why not stick around now youve found us Jan?

This forum could do with a few more ladies. Far too much testosterone in here.

Unless of course you are a Dutch chap named Jan who likes to call himself Mistress, but sounds unlikely.

Cue now all the guys saying no more women or it will descend into a forum about makeup, tv soaps, handbags and shoes.

Excellent.

Hey, and you have just the sort of "accessory" to keep this lot quiet. Any pics?

I just know I am opening up a world of pain here.

Seriously this is a very good forum for advice, and to make good friends. You have already had an example with Rick who is a a top top guy. Be prepared for banter, but in my experience, good natured.

Hope to see you around

Biggest I have driven was a Centurion ARV! and at 50 tonne that was an interesting drive, my little FV432 only weighs in at 15 tonne!
