If you zoom in on my pic of the VFD you can see black spots in the left corner of each display. My assumption was that each of them had failed. In desperate hope I connected the three panels and plugged them into my donor. Christmas lights at last!
I fitted it up to the good one and got a full display. Started up and the tacho worked. Then the fuse blew. Since then I have tested each wire of the orange plug for earth short-circuit and interrupted and checked. IGN on display, start motor and the fuse blows inside 5 seconds. It might be something else that fuse supplies so I will check what that is tomorrow - no kick panel fuse cover so I will look it up. Speedo sensor needs checking also.
Seems like I will have to buy bulk 15 amp fuses before I find the problem.
