    the clock comes on, but when the key is turned in the ignition everything goes off as if there is no power going to the MFA?

    any idea's? [:$]

    Agian, another totally useless post from me... I had the same problem,. then it started intermitently turning on and off, loseing the data stored on it and given crazy readings. I think it is because it got wet (leak+condensation+ice+drippage etc). It seems to be steadily improveing as it drys, vvarious light that were going mental seem to be acting normal again.

    Try whipping the clocks out and drying it off.

    check the earths on the rocker cover peeps.
    had this problem in the mk1.
    if its not that dont think its not an earth break somewhere.
    i took an earth feed from the plug on the clocks and ran a piece of wire to a self tapper drilled into the metal behind the clocks.SORTED [:D]
    couldnt believe it,id put up with em not working for ages [:s] worth a try ;)
