    Default Euro Guage Cluster w/ pic

    So, I am getting tired of my car talking to me in German, I used the Bentley to reset the language. Well, I turned the ignition to radio mode, pushed down the right button (in picture below) and waited, and waited.......and waited. Nothing happend. Is it possible that the button/knob is broken? is there another option other than buying a new cluster?

    yes, do the conversion, thats 109k original miles on a May 1990 production car.

    Disassemble the unit and have a look inside where the button touches, maybe the board is damaged there. A little soldering might help. Also check the 'cover' inside on the button if that is clean as it is a contact surface.

    not sure what you mean by "radio" position...but if that is position 2...then you have turned the igntion too far.

    To set the language...you have to turn the ignition to position 1 ...
