Hi I am new to the site but wondered if this is a common problem.

I have an October 2006 Mondeo 2.0 Diesel, when driving along I noticed the speedo, Rev counter and temp gauge had stopped and 4 warning lights were showing, (outside freezing, battery, diesel preheat and engine management lights), also the digital displays show dashes only.

I stopped, restarted the engine, all returned to normal.

A week later there was a repeat of that, now it has done it again and will not return to normal.

It does not affect the running of the car at all.

I have booked it in to my local Ford dealer, they say though they have never heard of this problem, I pointed out they had a similar problem with older Focus models, they grudgingly agreed but said that this was a different problem.

Has anyone heard of this before or is it just one of those things.

Hi Robwill

suggest you check all earth points within that area sounds like maybe one has come away.
