Loose Wire thingy and Display
« on: 02 April 2010, 18:41:27 »
ok folks possibly me putting 2+2 together and getting 110 :) but i have the following issues.

the display on my 2000 gls facelift looks like this -



as you can see the time and temp look ok, and when i turn off the radio the date comes up too.

on the bottom one the only thing that comes up is a little yellow box with a ! that goes away within a second or two of the car starting.

now my assumption is that it is possibly related to this wire thingy which is hanging down into the drivers footwell from around the centre console part. i've got as far under there as i can but just can't seem to be able to work out where it goes.

pics of both sides to show shape and wire colours.

The light that lights up when you switch on the car is automatic gearbox. :y

What radio have you got fitted? Is it a factory or after market head unit?

loose wire looks like Traffic Master connector. Do you have a TM button near headlight switch ;)
