ve dash not working please help!!!

[PRAVX II S]

Get it scanned for codes or get a Tech2 onto it.
Sounds like the cluster is faulty

I had mine scanned by an auto sparky and all he could suggest was to take it to holden as he couldn't get the scan tool to talk to the car.

Thanks for the reply. I actually replied to the other almost identical thread but heard nothing so thought I'd create new.
I've checked all fuses under the bonnet and in boot with a test lamp all work ok. I didnt stop to think that there maybe fuses in the cab as there are a crap load under the bonnet so will check them tomorrow.
I presume my car has no stealth switch as it isn't an ex police vechile. I may be wrong. I've searched for the steath switch but nothing.
I'm really hoping it is something as simple as a bad connection. I'll pull the cluster out tomorrow to see if theres anything out of the ordinary.
Let ya know how it goes.

I have the same issue if I remove the battery lead for an hour or two all issues disappear and all starts working again. Hope someone can help the only thing that has been done is I replaced the battery recently but all worked ok when it was done

Is there not a Earth [ground wire] under the dash behind the cluster, and one at the ECU,
I read somewhere,
it was a common fault in the early VE's, that "Both ground connections" have to be tight, where one of them can come loose.
Hence the reason the whole dash doesn't work.
Wiring diagram would help to trace the loom and ground connections.

If that is the cause, why didn't GM run a negative cable [in the loom] from the ECU/BCM, and Dash [Cluster] instead of grounding them to the body.

I have the same problem with my 2007 ve. Did anyone figure out the problem?

 

[Fu Manchu]

See above.
