Currently in the garage it was the mechanic who spotted
it I went back there to see what he was on about and to
order another one.
I will go back and trace the cables could be the alarm if so
will just remove it all as I don't use the alarm.

Might connect it and see if anything happens

Thanks

Not Sure what this is or what it's for

Hi all, I found an in-line fuse connector near (could of been under) the three relays when changing the blower fan. Its a clear case fuse connector with a 15 amp fuse. the connector is blown and I was hoping someone knows what it is and what its for.

Thanks

Motometer Cluster

Mileage wasn't moving so replaced the gears, I knew it wasn't going to work as the gears in there were fine and hand moving the gears showed no issues, so i went ahead with the gear swap.

As expected after the swap the mileage is still not working, what are my options now?

Thanks gone through the diagram and its not there.
Broke and binned them all this morning. might go back
to the garage and dig a broken one out the bin.

Its a plastic molding that goes under the chrome strip
that slides in (rails like)and then they can be lined up with the holes in the horseshoe
