Once home I turned it off, locked it, then unlocked it and started it, it started fine, I reversed down the driveway and drove back in and everything is working fine again. Does anyone know what's going on?Will be seeing a mechanic 2moro, last service was only 600kms ago, battery and alternator replaced about 5000kms agoIt's a bf2 f6 ute.Any help will be mu hoy appreciated Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90421-help-needed-electrical/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it just the speedo not working or entire dash. Do u have the facilities to scan for codes? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90421-help-needed-electrical/#findComment-1541305 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intermittent; but I think I found a loose earth and after Ive torqued it back up everything seems good. Can't say that was the exact cause however, I think mine was a canbus fault as it didnt throw a code. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90421-help-needed-electrical/#findComment-1581889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
