Dashboard Lights and Gauges

The vehicle’s dashboard serves as its control panel, providing the driver with gauges indicating speed, distance, temperature and the amount of gasoline left in the tank. It also houses light indicators such as a seat belt warning light and an engine malfunction light.

Drivers side under dashboard for stock fuses.

If you have any upgrades, electric radiator fan etc. they may be under the hood behind the headlights, same for aftermarket relays

How do you reset service light b class Mercedes?

Here you go.

Check out my site

Don't bother with the key reset, go straight to the Service menu. Holding down the page button (leftmost lower button on steering wheel) confirms actions.

2006 Mercedes A150 Service Indicator/Light Reset that works.

I tried all the FSS and Assyst resets to no avail, but this one (ref 2006) worked perfectly and considering the dealer was looking for €350 for a Service C. The oil and filter to do this cost €50, so a net saving of €300 thanks to spnjockey and the Mercedes forum. Well done all

found this on www.BenzWorld.org/forums:

Make sure the doors are shut;

Key to position 2;

Press/release the Reset button to show the next service due light, release button;

Turn the key to off;

Press and hold the same Reset button to view the service light, within 2 seconds turn the key to position 2;

Wait up to 10 seconds and the light will reset to show new service.

Also, here is how you can access the service data:

2003-2005

- Switch ignition on (position one);

- Outside temperature display;

- Press button up or down on the steering wheel until the FSS PLUS indicator appears in the display;

- Press the trip odometer reset knob for about five seconds (Service Menu appears in the display);

- Select the items menu with the + or - button;

- Press the menu systems button;

- The service indicator now displays items;

- Press the menu systems button until the outside temperature display appears.

2006

- Switch ignition on (position one);

- MPH display;

- Press the trip odometer reset knob three times consecutively (Voltage display appears);

- Select the Service menu with the + or - button;

- Service indicator displays items;

- Press the menu systems button until the MPH display appears.

2007

- Switch ignition on (position one);

- Outside temperature display;

- Press the trip odometer reset knob three times consecutively (Voltage display appears);

- Select the Service menu with the + or - button;

- Service indicator displays items;

- Press the menu systems button until the outside temperature display appears.Navigate the menus and be careful which service you confirm as you can confirm individual actions as well. Have the Service Booklet handy to check the number for the work you've done. It's about all the bloody book is good for! For the 2006 A Class the only way to reset the service data was through the menus, no key sequence worked.

How do you remove the dashboard on a 1997 Volvo 850 in order to replace the bulbs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The bulb type should be listed in your owner's manual (you did keep it, didn't you?)

Volvos normally use halogen bulbs which must be handled very carefully. Wear clean rubber or cloth gloves since any skin oil that gets on the bulb glass can cause it to shatter when it reaches operating temperature.

Open the hood/bonnet and look in each front corner of the engine compartment. There should be a plastic holder for the bulb, accessible from the rear of the lamp cover. Pull off the power connector and release the metal spring that holds the bulb in place. Carefully remove the old bulb and set it aside somewhere safe so it won't fall and shatter. Take the new bulb (while you're wearing those gloves, of course) and put it into the holder. There should be little detents that align it correctly in the holder. Compress the metal spring and put it into place, then reinstall the power connector.

Aside from the fact that halogen bulbs are very finicky about being handled, the job is actually pretty easy.

How do you change a speedometer on a Peugeot 106?

Asked by Wiki User

I have a "N" reg 1996 106 1.5 Diesel, and the speedo developed an intermittent fault, I changed the speedo sensor but that did not repair the problem. I was quoted over £160 for a replacement speedo from my local dealer and I recently purchased the car for only £450 so that not economically viable. I purchased a complete dash with the speedo, fuel gauge, clock etc from Ebay from a car breaker for only £12 delivered!

You will need a spline key set, these are similar to Allen keys but have spline heads, Halfords or car part shops sell these for about £10 a set, you will NOT be able to remove the screws without these they are essential.

1) Using a Philips type screwdriver remove the 3 screws holding the 2 piece ignition shroud together these are located just under the steering wheel, you only need to remove the top section for access, leave the bottom section in situ.

2) Using the spline key remove the 3 screws holding the piece of trim around the instrument cluster, 1 at the top, 2 either side, don't loose the screws!

3) You will now see another 2 screws holding the instrument cluster either side at the bottom, these are a little awkward to reach though, using the spline key also remove these.

4) Now the instrument cluster will now pull out, be careful now as you do not want to damage any of the wiring or push on connectors.

5) As the instrument panel starts to come free, you will see the wiring and push on connectors, at the back of the push on connectors are white coloured securing lugs, these have to be pushed forward to allow the connectors to pull off.

6) Remove all the push on connectors from memory I had 4, and the instrument panel will now come out with a little bit of jiggling around.

7) Replacement is just a reverse order, please don't forget to check everything is working by turning on the ignition BEFORE replacing trim, screw etc.

Estimated removal time less than 1 hour, good luck,

Steve

What fuse is for the dash lights?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is generally a small fuse about 5 amps. It typically feeds off the tail light fuse and goes to the dash dimmer switch. If the tail light fuse is blown, you won't get dash lights either.

Your 2002 Jeep Wrangler dash lights wont come on where is the fuse for this?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

check the dimmer switch, turn the light know left and right. sounds like that is the problem. turn it with the lights ON!!

Check fuse panel in passenger foot well, two columns of small fuses. Check fuses #6 and #9. They are 6 and 9 down from the top in the left hand column. Try hitting the dashboard over the cluster with your hand. It's a common problem that the air bag light comes on and all gages drop. I get that now and then. Give the dash a hit and it comes back to life.

What causes a Chevy silverado to not start but still has power and makes the temp and fuel gauge go back and forth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

COULD be many things; check the easy/inexpensive ones first; bad/loose plug wire. Clogged fuel filter. If you totally depress the gas pedal and hold it down while cranking, the fuel that may be collected in the cold-start injector will drain - SHOULD even start if the problem is a partially clogged filter.

Should the oil pressure gauge read 80?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If your oil pressure is remaining that high, I suggest having it checked with a manual pressure guage to see if the reading is accurate. It sounds to me as if you might have a bad oil sending unit. After checking it manually you may be pleasantly surprised to find that a new oil pressure sending unit will solve your problem. good luck.

No dash lights or gauges not working on dash board on 1986 Jeep Comanche?

Asked by Wiki User

First, I would check the fueses, below the dash by the drivers feet. If not that, you should check the switch, try inter-changing it, if that doesnt work, you should check for burnt wires. I've had this problem before.

How do you replace a dash light in a 1984 Chevy pickup?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's not easy! You have to remove the instrument bezel. (all of the screws around it) and the plastic piece on the bottom of the steering column. If you have a clock in your gauges you will need a tiny flat head screwdriver to take out the screw that holds the clock adjusting knob on. Pull the bezel out. If you can't get to the blown bulb you have to take out the clear shield. You may have to loosen some of the bolts that hold your gauges in to get to a specific bulb. Hope that helps!

What does it mean when the light marked with an S comes on under the temperature gauge in a 1990 Honda Accord?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The S light refers to sport mode on the trany. The sport mode changes the shifts slightly in an automatic trans. The car will perform better in s mode in stop and go traffic. The button to change to S mode is located on the shifter.
