Instrument panel and engine start problem

MIchaelGR · 10-07-2020, 01:44 PM

Today i started my rx3 bike.
After some metres driving i realise that the instrument panel back light was "blinking" (on and off fast).
I stopped and switch off the light and then.. my bike switched off!
no panel display at all!
I took off the ignition key, put it back again, switch it on and still nothing on the panel...
I pressed the clutch an the panel indicators appear (while pressing the clutch) , but when i left the clutch nothing again!
Also , only when the clutch remains pressing the rpm clock is working only. That way i managed to start the engine (after several times) but on the panel was only speedo, fuel and the gear number was flashing.
I am really confused on what to do guys..
Is it a battery problem?
Any advice would be appreciated!

(My rx3 is 2015 model with 12000 km
and i am sorry for my bad English!)

Check that all of your grounds (earths) are tight, and make sure the battery terminals aren't loose.

second the grounds, the cluster is grounding thru whatever it can find to backfeed to ground.

Spent 7 hours and the problem was at the key switch ignition lock.

So thank you for your help!
