Great news, Aldermog is resuscitated without a large bill! Maybe it's an idea to preventive swapping the fuses once a year?

That's what comes of using 4 cylinder fuses in a six cylinder car

You learn something new every day on this site. I had no idea that fuses have cylinders...

What frustrated me is that if I'd just replaced the fuse that protects the power supply to the instruments I'd have solved the issue in 5 mins. I had a spare, new, fuse. But because it looked OK and I'd checked it with a meter, I "knew" it must be something else. So I didn't. Too clever for my own good!!

So the problem was a fuse that had blown. Removed from the car and checked with a meter it showed conductivity. In the fuse box with power applied it didn't. I had spare fuses, but because it appeared good, both visually and with a meter, I didn't swap it out. I am somewhat irritated with myself.  But relieved it wasn't anything more expensive!  A result overall.
