Not really... but something similar. When I step on the brake, it cuts the current to the guages. Gas, Tach, Speedo...they all shut off. I just bought this car and haven't dug into it yet. I was told by the po that someone had installed BMW brakes on the front. Maybe they also put in a 19mm master cylinder. Not sure.
Has anyone had this happen to them? Should I look at the master cylinder and check all the connections for a short circuit? Where else could the trouble be?
I want to get this car ready to AX on the 30th, but the problem list seems to be getting bigger. It's good to be back in the 914 world tho.
