Started the gts today. Dash does nothing. No trip computer, clocks nothing. Never had any problem before. Maybe a poor connection or an earth somewhere?Any ideas. |

Check the fuses. On my S4 it was fuse 25 that took most of the dash out. Not sure about the GTS And when I say check them, I mean check them and double check them. I ran through the whole fuse box and thought they were ok. I then spent a week or so trying loads of other stuff with no joy. Then someone told me to go check fuse 25 again and I found it was bad. Must of missed it on the first sweep. |

Are interior lights working? They are on same fuse as pod, also rear hatch release I believe so they will tell you if fuse ok before even groping in footwell! |

The fault is on same circuit as door lights. When door open, the dash flickers but when closed ,nothing. |

Wey hey, Fixed it. I was a bit worried for a bit there, It turned out to be the fuse ,which looked visually absolutely fine when checked, was in fact broken. I just replaced it anyway and the dash is back. Fuse is definitely dodgy as I tested it. It went to a Porsche indy and they cannot have even looked at it. Alls well that ends well. What threw me was the interior lights still worked which I thought was the same fuse, and the dash would flicker when the doors opened. wish I had listened to Mike c in the first place. |

Something odd here as the GTS interior lights are on same fuse (25) as dash. When you opened door the instruments were obtaining power via ground through door pins, so i think the problem is with the ground for the pod. If Fuse 25 was blown originally you would not have had any interior lights. |
