Grandvista 250 / Re: Faulty dashboard - 2008 Kymco Grand Vista

Thanks for the prompt and constructive feedback so far. It would seem that the plan of action before going ahead and parting with $800 will be as follows:
1. Check wiring - end to end
2. Tighten any loose connections
3. Check battery terminals and charge
4. Ensure all connections are dry and secure
If the above fail to resolve the issue, then:
5. Dismantle dashboard unit and check PCB solders and wiring
If all above fail to resolve the issue, consider replacement dashboard

Grandvista 250 / Faulty dashboard - 2008 Kymco Grand Vista
« on: July 16, 2013, 08:37:04 AM »
Hi All,
Firstly allow me to introduce myself - I am Rush (from South Africa) and I ride my wife's Grand Vista 250 every so often - this scooter is tons of fun  ;D
More recently, the dashboard display has become faulty. On starting the scooter (starts without any problem), the dashboard begins to flash along with the red "charge light" on the right hand side of the display. The LED display continues to flash and the items within the display alternate between "full" display or "faded". Nothing on the display displays completely and thus the dashboard is unable to display any useful information. Rev counter does not display current RPM, nor does the odometer display the milage or speed.
The scooter was taken to the dealer who was unable to fix the problem other that to suggest that the dashboard be replaced at a cost of $800  ::)
Has anyone on the forum encountered such an issue previously and, if so, how was the problem corrected (if at all)?
Thanks in advance for any advice or pointer.
Best regards
