In my 1988 300E in the center of the console there is an LCD display that's blank. Is this where the outside temp is supposed to de displayed? Any ideas on correcting/fixing this?
TIA- Stephen Davis 1988 300E - So how hot IS it outside anyways..? |

Outside temp LED blank usually is the sensor
locate behind your front plate bracket (is a cable with sensor at one end connector at other end) cable connector is locate inside fuse box. if the LED turn black then you have a faulty display unit. ------------------ MB STARS Master Guild Technician,12 years MB tech 5 years independent shop owner |

My problem is different than yours.
The stupid engeneer who placed that thermometer under the front plate was certainly a young 10 years old boy... (the hot that the engine of a 560SEC blows out makes the sensor useless) the sensor indicates the outside temp to 40+ ?! Is there a way to readjust the temp so that when the sensor thinks it's 42 it will be 24? Or should I simply move the sensor to the back if possible...? ------------------------------------- WEB Site : http://www.adamou.dpn.ch A.S.C. 1999 ------------------------------------- [This message has been edited by Adamou (edited 06-07-99).] |

How can I change the outside temp display from centigrade to fahrenheit?

The LED is not black (doesn't seem 'burned out'). How do I check the sensor? Is there a fuse for this or is included with the instrument fuse or is on it's own.
Thanks again- Stephen Davis 1988 300E |

You can check the fues,under hood at driver side fuse #7 should be 8amps white.(horns,rear defogger,turn sifnal/hazard lamps,warning indicators). Brook The LED can't change from centigrade to fahrenheit. hope this help. ------------------ MB STARS Master Guild Technician,12 years MB tech 5 years independent shop owner [This message has been edited by MB STARS (edited 06-07-99).] |
