Broken odometer on a 1984 300SD
Hi,
I bought 2 repair manuals and neither one even mentions the odometer or how to get under the dashboard. Does anyone have an idea how to troubleshoot this problem? The speedometer still works aren't they on the same cable? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Danny

Well, first there is no cable. The 126 body cars have electronic speedos. From MBs standpoint your speedometer is broke. They only sell the unit. There are plenty of speedo shops that can fix your unit though.

speedo or odometer??
Hey, thanks for the reply but I did mention that the speedometer does work. It's the odometer, mileage counter, that is broken.
There is no cable for this? Is this electronic too? Thanks Danny

1.Do you hear a clicking sound from the odometer?
2.Are the numbers slanted to the right, meaning are the left 3 numbers higher than the right 3 numbers? 3.Are the numbers crooked - one high then 2 low for example? 4.Have you ever removed the instrument cluster before? 5.Does the Trip odometer still work?

You could also buy a used instrument cluster for cheap like this one for example:

odometers
Hey,
NO, No, NO, I don't know I've only owned the car for about 3 months, No.  Everything looks normal except the main and trip odometers don't work and the backlight doesn't adjust. Maybe I need a new instrument cluster?? Actually I should check the back of the one that's in there now. How do you get it out?? Thanks Danny
