no radio or instrument gauges
« on: April 29, 2009, 04:05:22 PM »
hi  all   i'm from ireland and its my first time posting on here!! i think this ite is brilliant!!!   i've got a 91 318is and i've a bit of a problem and i'm looking for some help please!!

i was driving the IS at the weekend and my radio, rev counter and fuel gauge all went dead!!   i stopped and checked the fuse but its perfect!!!

but i replaced it with a known working fuse just in case it was faulty but still nothing!!

so i used a voltage tester and there is no power coming to the fuse at either side!!!

does anyone have any idea what could be causing just this fuse to be getting no current????:confused:

any help greatly appreciated!!  thanks

Tach/Gauges -- 10 and 21
Radio -- 12, 21, 27, 28

Fuse 10 is hot in run or start, 12 in accessory, run, or start, while the others are hot at all times.

Your radio may have additional fuses besides those in the fuse panel.
