Hi Highlander I tried with light switch disconnected and then connected up again, but no different.  I could just about see the back of the instrument cluster but couldn't see any multiplugs that I could get at. I only have the bottom panel of the steering colum and the panel that holds the bonnet release off? If you could PM me your landline phone number and let me know a time that would be best to ring you it could help me greatly ( I think lololol )

ideally four at once but you can use two, do top and bottom one side, pull it out past the catches then do the other side, tricky but possible Wink

If it is a Fusebox is it more lightly to be Auxilary or Central. The reason I ask is because, the Auxilary looks straight forward (lollol) where as the Central looks like a bad dream Huh

Forgot to mention on the phone...
 
Global closing/opening is activated by holding the key in the door lock in either the unlock or lock position for a few seconds, try it and see what happens

Hi Highlander. tried key in door and windows opened, first front then back !!!  Now I'am thinking "how do I get these closed now. After another couple of tries, got them closed.  I guess thats Global closing/opening.  I got dash removed unpluged and pluged Instrument panel But still no life in Instruments. I just refitted Instrument panel, the rest of the dash is still off, heater panel and lighting panel are not connected up. Will I have to connect everything up to check Huh?

The details of Global closing are fully explained in the Handbook. Pages 33 and 34. The reason the windows and sunroof move at different stages is to avoid overload on the electrics. Smiley

timduffy7 you put so much effort looking for the failure under the dash with no luck and by this time you'd have rebuilt both your fuseboxes and i'm pretty sure that would solve all your problems...

Hi wojtekor I can see the Auxiliary fuse box would be fairly straight forward to rebuild. I have looked at both rebuilds on this site neither say what they repaired Huh Can you tell me how to get the central fuse box out. I have the dash off at the moment and still can't see how to unscrew it Huh?

they repaired the fuseboxes Wink and all problems associated  with them Wink basically fuseboxes tend to catch moist and corrode and then cause weird electrical problems...
 
the aux fusebox as you said is pretty straight forward but the central fusebox is mounted with 3 screws under the bonnet, and inside just above the pedals you'll find a loom that is connected to it, got to unplug [there are quite a few plugs there] and you'll see 4 more screws in each corner that mount the fusebox to the rest of the car. [got to be pretty flexible to reach there, patience is a must] unscrew, pull out, rebuild Wink
