[s-cars] S6 Instruments lost power

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Sorry, misread that then.  Hmm.  must be some power feed problem  
(don't think it's fused) or  (more liley IMO) faulty (if there is  
one) voltage regulator in the circuit board. It must be a common  
power feed problem if it involves all warning/ measuring gauges/ 
displays.

Good luck.

Hope you figure it out soon and it's (relatively) simple.
