2004 Vauxhall Meriva

Electrical problem
2004 Vauxhall Meriva 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 34000 miles

Hi the altinator light came on and the speed-o, temp gauge and rev counter stopped working. Sometimes the light goes off and the instraument panel works ok. The AA told me it maybe loose earth wire.

Thanks for your help

Hi there,

I would be checking the battery cables are clean and tight and also the main alternator feed wire is also clean & tight, start here.
