when it is on it looks great LCD is clear no black spots.
any suggestions where the loose connection may be located?
I receintly purchased a new cable with temp. probe but have not attemped to install it yet
When i take the screws out of the fuse box to get at the cable connection shoud i disconnect the battery first?
thanks in advance
no, I think it's the actual LCD Display itself. I had the same exact problem with my 95 e320, temp. would show -25f (I had the temperature sensor removed to make sure where the problem was located). I then plugged the sensor back in and the reading was off by like 10 degrees. I took out the instrument scluster and replaced in a new LCD display and viola. Are you sure it's not the sensor?
