Hello,
Can anyone help. My car is usually very reliable but I've noticed some strange goings on with my dashboard lately..
First time I noticed an issue, the entire thing was lighting up and staying on when I turned the engine off and removing the key... everything worked as normal when the car was running.
Then a couple of days later instead of remaining on, the dashboard was flickering.. again, everything was normal while running.
I took it to an auto electrician, (typically it was working fine on this day) and I don't think they really checked anything, rang me an hour later and said nothing was wrong.. despite me having shown them the video of it flickering.
Now, it is working normally the majority of time but does occasionally flicker. Also, recently the fuel gauge has began to update ridiculously slowly when it used to be instant. And now the "miles left" part of this is not updating at all until it gets down to 0, then just starts again..(so never actually is accurate)
The car is 8 years old and has not had a battery replacement in this time.. it still starts fine, but could it be a battery issue? Or an electrical fault..?
Thank you for all your help,
Danielle
