Can't Reset Tripmeter

[jason.p]

Mine is a W reg 1.9 TD (2000) without any of the extra "computer" info displays, just the mileometer and tripmeter and reset button. Pressing the reset button doesn't do anything. I know on the scale of things this is a fairly trivial problem, but being self employed I need to keep a record of mileage for tax. Any ideas?

Thanks.

You are pressing and holding the button right? Takes about 2 seconds to reset.

Thanks Mirez. Yeah, pressing and holding.

Then either the clusters defective or the switch is, I would "reboot" the cluster (either taking the blue connector out of the back or disconnecting the battery (if you do the latter make sure you have the radio code)). If that's not a fix then the either strip down and check the switch for a dry joint or replace the cluster.

Cheers Mirez. Soon as it stops raining I'll give it a go ;)

why not pull the fuse?

[seatkid]

Ignition needs to be on when you press the reset button.

Yes, I had ignition on and engine running while pressing the reset button. I'll disconnect or pull fuse (if I can find the right one!) to try and "re-boot" the cluster as suggested. Thanks :lol:
