This morning my stereo my rev counter and clock in the centre console have stopped working. There is no power going to the stereo. It's all happened at the same time, is there a connection here?

All help appreciated

Thanks

perhaps they share the same fuse ? check the drivers handbook for the fuse details.

If the instrument fuse blows, you lose reverse lights as well.

Trouble is, if you haven't got the original 24 year old Bavaria stereo, then you have no idea how your existing unit is wired in and where the power is coming from, so it's very hard to fault-find.
