Replaced MID now no RANGE display?
« on: 27 December 2007, 12:27:38 »
A couple of months ago I replaced my faulty pixel MID on my 2.5TD Manual, everything worked except the Range display which just showed either F or 0, I do know that the doner MID came from an 2.5td Auto.

So Im thinking Ok I need one from another Manual (not sure?), before Xmas I managed to soucre a complete Dash Display with MID which I was told was from a 2.5 Manual.

Fitted it today (MID) only to find the same thing everthings working execpt Range this time contant F on the display.

Just to check, as I still had my dash in bits and  I hadn't broken something, I fitted the original Faulty pixel one, drove round the block, it wasn't showing F but some digits (hard to tell coz the faulty pixels).

I now starting to think that the Dash I bought maybe was from a Auto or maybe from a 2.5 Petrol Manual, weres mines Diesel, My dash says Diesel, were the new dash is Benzel?, Any Ideas?

I noticed while messing with it. that if I press both the stalk buttons it displays a range of numbers?, assume these are the MID type number or maybe a fault report numbers but mean nothing to me.

If I read and post these numbers on here anyone know what they mean?

Thanks Chris.

'The Boy' will be able to tell you what car the screen came from if you post up the numbers. would guess the screen will need coding with the correct engine / transmission information to be able to work correctly.

Thanks Guy's

Cool,  looks like they need to know what Engine and Gearbox type, not sure about the tyre size thing?

I'll check the numbers against my small collection of current MID's

Its says on the chart about software updates for MID's, Im I right in thinking therefore, that rather than trying to source the correct MID for my megy, I can get one of my working display one's (yellow and black plug) reprogrammed instead?

Tech 2 I suppose?

Thanks Chris.
