it could be a fuse, a relay, or a loose ground connection, but I'm betting it is the instrument cluster...

 

Any idea which fuse/relay/ground connection,I need pointed in the right direction,no other problems with the instument cluster,could it be a dry solder joint,can anyone who has encountered / cured this problem chime in,Thanks Calum.

 

I'll check my bentley manual tonight & post back...

 

Does just the toggle portion not work? Can you switch between the 1 and 2 setting via the button on the bottom of the stick?

 

I can't toggle through the different modes or switch between journey 1 or journey 2,I took the stalk that was removed in to work last night and had the electrician check out the switch for connectivity,it checked out fine!It 's got to be the cluster,what next?thanks for any help you can give/given(Atownpassat,pete 1) Calum

 

You should be able to find a cluster for cheap(under 150 US dollars)

 

I know I can pick up a cluster (new) for £75 off ebay,but I would rather fix the one I have as it's probably just a dry solder joint.It's not as if it isn't working at all,no pixels missing or anything like that,it's just stuck on the journey 1 / tempererature mode,if I could change it to mpg,I would be quite happy to leave it at that.I hope someone has a definitive answer to this problem,thanks Calum

I checked the two fuses associated with the DIS and they are both intact ! Does anyone know which relay it uses so I can check that out,thanks for your help pete1,still waiting!Calum

 

sorry... crazy weekend... I'll try to get to it tonight. :beer:

 

I doubt the MFU is powered or operated by a special relay separate from the rest of the instrument panel. I would imagine that it gets its signal directly from wherever the stalk wires go to. You will need to open up the Bentley and figure out where the stalk wires lead, and work from there.

I would look it up myself, but I just moved and I have no idea where my Bentley is.

Thanks sirwired and pete1,I hope to get this problem resolved soon,it's annoying having something in your car that you can't use!Calum

 

Just noticed something... you will have to find somebody from the UK to look in the UK Bentley since your harness may be set up completely differently from those of us in the U.S. (The whole "you drive on the wrong side of the road" thing...

Wrong side ???

SirWired,it's you that drives on the wrong side of the road and even worse than that,the steering wheels on the wrong side!:crazy: although you do keep the same pedal configuration as U.K. but some of you only have two pedals and one of those seems to be for a "bigfoot".Hans the german played a trick on my passat at the factory,I finally found the fuse pick for the fusebox,it was under the cover on the left hand side of the dash while the fusebox is on the right hand side ! German sense of humour ?


cheers Calum:lol:
