Join the Isuzu Dmax/MU-X owners group on Facebook, I'm sure it's been covered before, could be as simple as a bad battery .

First step check the radio fuse as well.

But also, why did the other fuse blow???

Do yourself a favour and join the Isuzu Dmax,MU-X owners group Australia on Facebook and take advantage of the knowledge base, I hav'nt come across your problem, often one fuse covers many applications so check them all .

I recenently bought an Isuzu Dmax 2018 and when I turn my lights on my dashboard doesn’t light up which makes it difficult to see what speed I’m going at night time. Everything else goes lights up red when the lights are on except the speedo, does anyone know how to turn them on? Could this be a fault?

Hi, I have a 2013 Dmax 4 door. It is getting very dark here in the North (Norway) and the fact that the interior/doom light has a delayed switch-off is very annoying. For many other cars it turns it self off after the engine is started, this is not the case on the Dmax, the light stays on long after I have started to drive. Does anybody have a suggestion how to remove the delay or alternatively reduce it?

This problem you've described seems like it's from the gearbox so a transmission specialist may be able to help or you could try to take the vehicle to a different mechanical repairs and servicing workshop

I have a 2017 D max 6spd manual. Most times when I pull up at the lights it will idle at around 950rpm. It sometimes will slow down to around 800rpm. My 2012 model never did this. It always idled around 800. I don't know why it idles so high. Of course when I mentioned it at service time it idled at normal speed. Any ideas?

Your air con is kicking in

No it does it even when the aircon is off.
But it does sound like the engine is labouring slightly.

It revs up automatically when the car is cleaning the DPD filter.

Hi guys,
i have a Dmax TD Auto 2012 in good order. This week i had to do a very hard brake due to traffic. After the braking episode the battery light and the park brake lights came on and stayed on.. Later today after sundown the battery run down and the engine died. I could recharge the battery and go again.

Would someone perhaps know the issue to get the charging happening again and to have the park brake light return to normal operation?

Many thanks!
