Default Question about the onboard computer

Hi guys,

I have some "trouble" with the onboard computer, the one that gives information about the average MPG, the temperature, the miles available until the next gas refill ... The display is kind of wierd, the numbers or text have difficulties to be displayed. Text dispparear from time to time and it is different after each time I start the engine.

Do you know where I can buy a new "LCD" to replace the old one ? I think it is a display problem.

Sorry for the explanation, english is not my native language

Thanks

You'll probably have to get it replaced at a dealership.

Cheaper to get yours remanufactured ... bba-reman.com for $350! If you find a link that shows how to REMOVE the cluster, please post! I've been searching all night...
