    Check power and grounds to cluster. Try unplugging alternator and see if it still does it. It may be putting off ac voltage. Replace alternator if unplugging it fixes it. May be a bad cluster

I'd definitely check battery and battery cables. In the past, I had a vehicle where the lights at night would brighten and dim a little on their own, drove me crazy, at the moment, I can't remember if battery or battery cables, one or the other. Just my opinion.

SOURCE: 1998 escort 1.4 p reg i have just fitted new dials

this may be a bad connection behind the clocks ,, because the main ecu runs the rev counters ., or the new rev counter may be faulty

Not to sure, but i think its cable. Loosen the nut that holds the cable to the speedo drive on the gearbox. check if the inner cable is broken.

On my transit connect 55 reg when i turn key my rev counter goes to highest and stays there

In the Transit connect, they have plug in connections to the dial, these often vibrate loose, its a case of taking the clock out and pushing the plugs back in!!

All warning lights & dials on dash flip on and off continuiously?

I would suspect that the alternator is not charging sufficiently.

Be sure that it is charging or you risk a break down if the battery dies.

Engine warning light , battery light, warning light , rev counter , speedo and temp gauge going on/off intermitantly and speedo not working on digital screen on ford focus can you help. the battery is new...

My 04 Ford Focus the battery light keeps coming on & going off, have fitted a new alternator belt but it didn't solve the problem. The battery connections are good. Also the rev counter, speedo & mileage clock keep going haywire when the battery light is on. Do you think it is the alternator? Or is it some other common problem?
