Help! Water, Oil and Fuel Indicator issue after battery/instrument

[Tall_Paul]

I hope someone can help with or point me in the right direction.

I recently disconnected the battery and removed the instrument cluster to fit a microphone on the dash for a handsfree kit. When all reconnected and started the ignition four warning indicators appeared;

Failure of Outside Temp Indicator

Failure of Oil Indicator

Failure of Fuel Level Indicator (Drive to Workshop)

Refill Washer Fluid

I know all the levels were fine prior to disconnecting the cluster and battery. Has anyone else had this?

Its a 2003 Boxster S and i've tried the trick of disconncting the battery and turn key to position '1' but tt doesnt work. Also checked all the fuses and they're fine....really stumped!

Many thanks in advance.

The most common problem is that the connectors on the instrument cluster are not fully seated and snapped (locked) in place.

The would be the first place I would look.

Many thanks Loren, although the retainers were fully locked the connectors weren't quite home...all now fixed and panic over...dash was lit up like a Christmas Tree!!
