Car Not Starting After Changing Leds In Dial

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I changed the LEDs in my dials when I put it all back together and tried to start it again, it just wouldn't start. It sounded like it usually does when it starts up, but it sounds like the cars not getting petrol and not starting? I drove the car twice earlier and when I tried to start the engine after changing the dials the engine was still slightly warm. I don't understand, could I have damaged something in the dial binacle which doesn't allow the car to start?

Thanks for your responces in advance, any help is much appreciated.

Sounds to me something is still disconnected or not plugged fully home ?

My dial has been out numerous times, and you do have to be quite firm to ensure the plugs are seated correctly.

So have you had the problem where your engine wont start when the connections are loose? I was sure I connected everything in correctly, used quite a bit of force and all the dials work, light up showing the mileage and the petrol amount? So surely the wires are connected properly? Or not?
