Hi.
Driving along last week and I noticed that my odometer display had gone off, though the speedometer was still working.

A few miles down the road, I banged the top of the dashboard and the display came back on - and had recorded the miles I'd traveled (So the Odometer is still working, right?)

It did it again yesterday but no amount of bashing the dash will get it to display again, though everything else is still working.
Not sure if it's related but bashing the dash, made the headlamp warning light go out then come back on again.

anyone had this issue before? Got any suggestions as to how to fix / where to check?

I was going to remove the cluster tomorrow, to take a butcher's but forearmed and all that :)

thanks
 
Sounds as if a light bulb is on the blink ( :) )

They are (2004 Scudo) surprisingly easy to fix, there's a thread about it somewhere.

If you have an "old" scudo, someone will recommend that you throw away the screw/rubber washer that's above the steering column and helps hold in the surround to the instrument panel. Don't; just carefully replace it unless you like being plagued by continual buzzing made by the plastic surrount vibrating....
 
I'm struggling to even find this screw that's "Above the steering column"

I've removed the upper & lower column shroud and all the screws around the black plastic dash but just can't see what's stopping it from coming out

any help guys?
 
Found it - wow, that's a weird sukka

It was the bulb that had blown eventually.

all sorted now :)
