flickering Dashboard

[h.douglas]

Hi Guys

Every time I start the car the dashboard display screen is flickering. I press the button to lower it and bring it back up again, most of the time that works but now it is happening all the time. I rang Peugeot and they say that I have to change the Dashboard Wiring Harness for a staggering £1,000.00 (just for the part!!!!). I need to find a much cheaper solution, I thought it was just a wire that needed changing that gets bent when the dashboard display goes up and down. Can anyone help or advise what I can do?

Common fault. There's a cable that stupidly goes behind the pop-up screen and over time gets damaged from all the opening and closing. Can be fixed yourself for about £995 less than Peugeot have quoted! There are posts on here somewhere with pics showing exactly what to do if you have a ferret around.

As mentioned above very common issue. I have this issue also and will try to fix it myself but have not got around to it. There some posts here and on fb group as well.

If a wire is not completely broken this might help

RCZ pop-up SatNav display screen.

Also on 308, 3008, etc. The LCD display started to flicker, blur and go blank, every time I activated it. Phoned my ace Pug mechanic on the Gold Coast (Wayne Botha - 0413 942 026). He advised I needed a new cable from radio to display. However, he had fixed a few by removing the display and...

The problem re-occurred and he ended up replacing the whole cable. I don't think you can get this cable easily and that's why some people make out out of network cable (UTP cable)

Thank you for your help. Will pass this on to my mechanic who does electricals aswell and see if he can cut the cable tie. If a wire is broken then these links have given him some ideas.

Will keep you updated.
