The cluster has a built in self test.Ignition off, press and hold the trip, keeping held switch the ignition on, and wait for "Test" to come up in the LCD. Now each press of the button will cycle to the next test, first is a sweep test, then I think its second or third test will put the warning lights on. Ignore U1900, you get that one for free, its always logged

hi folks
owner brought car in this evening on his way home from work
i done andys test and lights in cluster come up solid green for turn signals also scanner gets same test results
one thing the owner tells me is that they do come on some times and he seems to think this all started after hitting a pot hole and indicating at the same time
i take it from the replys its not a common fault
he is going to sort out a time when he can leave the car with me as he uses it six days a week and im not working on a sunday for no one, he did ask
the other thing i noticed is you cant here any relay clicking or any noise at all when the indicators are flashing outside
any more thoughts welcome

Four connectors I need you to look at, along with the obvious ones of on the back of the cluster, and the Gem.C90 - The large one in the middle of the battery junction box.
C111 - Near side kick panel.
C112 - Near side kick panel.
C113 - Behind the glove box, up where the A pillar joins the bulk head, but behind the sound insulation ! You do not normally see much wrong with these connections, but ensure they are fully latched, and put a couple of cable ties round them to pull up tight !

andy and rob
thanks for the super info i hope to get this car back to have a look next week it was his dad that brought it in the first time and did not now much about it other than dash lights not working
when to owner came in the other night and told me the way it started after hitting pot hole
i was thinking lose connection somewhere as he said it has started working sometimes
its been like this for six months he says, i dont think he is that bothered about it but wants to sell the car soon and wants the lights working for that reason
i have left next wedensday evening free to get a look at it and hopefully post a fix to it.
and once again thanks andy for the heads up info on where to look first

thanks guys
car got left in this morning and i started first with nearside kick panel connectors as it was p/side he hit pothole on
sure enough the lower connection blocks pins where not getting a good contact
so i tightened them up and put a cable tie around each of the two connectors and job done
thanks andy for the advice on places to check and saved me a load of time
cheers guys
