Exclamation Telstar AR Digital Dash problems

Hey. I am having troubles with the digital dash in my AR Telstar. The car I got for free and is really good and everything works except for the digital dash.

When the vehicle is switched on the dash flickers at 0 km/h and there is no FUEL or TEMP showing up on the cluster and even if the car is moving it still flickers at 0 km/h and the tacho partially works and flickers. It worked when the car was really hot inside but thats the only time it has worked. I have no idea if its the dash or something stupid and easy. The fuses are all fine. HELP ME pls txt me on 0448020036 or just reply to this. Cheers.

Default

the problem with digital dashes is usually the senders

tacho may come from the dissy that may be a corroded contact or a loose wire

you could remove the dash and check the back of the dash all the connections are in properly

and check each sender for loose or broken wires

the one in the fuel tank may require replacement
and the temp sender on the inlet manifold

good that the speedo and oil pressure is working

these senders are usually non repairable

being an AR ford may have the parts if not the only other place are ford wreckers next an auto electrician means expenseive
