1999 Peugeot 206 Dashboard fault


Hi there

my dashboard on my 206 has become faulty in the last couple of days. The speedo, digital mileage, and petrol guage keeps going off and flying down to the bottom. The digital clock has also gone off and re set itself to the wrong time. The wipers are stopping working intermittently. This is the only fault that is happening and the car is not cutting out or anything like that. Do you have any advice on what it could possibly be?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
Charmaine

This could be due to a faulty battery .. if the battery ihas a faulty cell inside it could cause these symptoms .. have the battery and alternator checked .. also have your mechanic check for a bad battery earth connection
