Hi Christian,
Many thanks for replying so quickly. I posted on the FZ1OA as well and grommet there was equally quick off the mark. He also mentioned you might be the man to have a chat with about this.
You both seem to conclude that the problem is most likely on the control board in the instrument cluster. I'll have a look inside tomorrow for obvious physical signs of failure but testing components isn't one of my talents. I could probably replace an SMD, though, provided I can get the correct component.
Please excuse my ignorance but could you simplify the process you mentioned for testing by replacing the temp sensor with a wired resistor? Where would I put the resistor in the circuit and how best to achieve this? If it can be hit with a hammer, I'm good to go but anything involving wiggly amps and squiggly volts melts my brain cell.
Cheers!
Mike
