World Mechanics how do i know if is just the light in the back of lcd? And olso i want to know ifthats the computer for my flashers some times the stop and olso my gas tank sensor somethimes stop showing working
World Mechanics hello yes good morning I have 2003 C320 and the parking brake release lever is broken and the glove box as well. Do you know how to fix these? Thank you.
What’s that part called I need it for my 2003 Mercedes c240
Just replaced my display. The hardest part was getting the cluster out of the dashboard. Took me about 5 minutes to complete the job. Thanks for your instructions!!
YES SIR. 27 MAY 2019 you're still saving displays with this upload. Thank you for this video!!
Thanks for the great video. I changed the one out on a 2002 Mercedes C320. The only challenge I ran into was understanding how the plug disconnected from the back of the display panel. Found it and all is good. I ordered a screen from German Audio Tech. It fit perfect and lit up upon putting everything back together. It was the fastest and easiest repair I have done to this car. Thank you thank you for making the video.
I know your comment is from over a year ago, but do you happen to remember how the plug disconnects?
Yoiu should have also removed the diffusers behind the LCD to check for dead LED back lights. The ribbon cable commonly fails from trace cracking at flex point.
I have the same problem in my c230 kompressor. I've been looking for a video like this for weeks! Thanks so much!
***** I am glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching us!
@@WorldMechanics
The light of my screen works weak and sometimes strong. Today he worked really hard and stopped working. Perhaps there is another reason?
@@Amoona148 it might just be a bad screen that gave out. Try replacing it like he did and it might work
Man... I can't tell you how big of a HELP this video was with this repair.....
Thanks a million......
GReat! Saved $250 by doing it myself, took about 40 minutes, and most of that time was spent sanding down two bamboo skewers so I could poke them in the two holes to remove the unit.
Thanks. Just finished an install myself. Once you know what you’re doing, this job can be done in 10 minutes of less
This looked simple enough, so I tried it. Worked like a charm. It took almost 7 minutes from start to finish. My says, "why didn't you fix that years ago!!!? (now that we're getting ready to sell our `02 MB C240)
Daniel Hogan We are glad it was helpful :) It is very simple procedure. When we first attemped it we did not think it would be so easy. Mercedes charges people for a new cluster and programming which is about $2000.
THANK YOU so much for this video!!! I am SO tired of my faded, almost-non-visible screen, makes my car feel like it is going to stop working any day now haha.
Anyone looking for the LCD screen part number like I was, just search Amazon for "W203 LCD Screen" and you will find many inexpensive options.
I needed this thanks!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Same exact issue with my 2004 C230 Kompressor. Bright when it's cold, too dim to see when it's hot. What do I search for on ebay for the part??
MichaelNoName @390894156689
Thank you for this video. I like that you added the tip of WHERE to buy (eBay $117, currently) and to buy the GERMAN made - not Chinese made - one. Great video. I did have a bit of trouble where the video came away from when you unclipped the white connector and the wide, orange plastic cable (wire).
+Jay Kay We are glad that it was helpful. If you ever have any questions let us know. It was one of our first videos so we were not so good at filming.
Thanks for sharing such good tutorial. One question, tho. Is there any option to control the brilliance of it? I have the filling it's on highest brightness, which could lead to low life span as well. Tks
Many thanks. If I might add a comment. When releasing the ribbon cable from the printed circuit board your hand obscures the view. For future users, the black part of the connector needs to be pulled downward towards the bottom of the cluster. this can be done with fingernails or GENTLY prying with a small pocket screwdriver. A strong magnifying glass is a great help.
Many thanks. Excellent video.
+AAHKLEE We are glad it was helpful! Thank you for the advise. We appreciate it!
@ Ronald Clark: Either the screen that you purchased was damaged (maybe during shipping) or you did not connect the ribbon good. Try to unplug it and try again. Here is what I have in the manual:
Do NOT remove the LCD from the package by pulling the ribbon cable.
Do NOT attempt to remove the LCD from the cardboard by pulling on the glass.
Do NOT pull, handle, or hold the LCD by the ribbon cable.
Do NOT insert the ribbon into the circuit board until the LCD is in place in the plastic holder.
Do NOT pry, bend, or twist the socket the ribbon plugs into on the circuit board. The LCD will NOT WORK!

Hi, did you ever figure out the SRS error? My carsoft says its the seat occupancy sensor, but when I use a emulator. The code is still there. For some reason my carsoft won't clear the code...maybe b/c it's a fake copy.
Ste .L hi,
I have the carsoft fake copy as well and it does not clear the code. I went to the dealer and they charged me $78 to reset it.
+World Mechanics great, thanks for the info. Do you know why your code came up?
I'm curious, are you able to clear ME adaptations with your machine? I can't seem to clear adaptations either. I might just buy a SDS machine instead
love all your RUclips stuff its helped me many many times can you please answer a car question for me i have a 2003 c240 the cluster is starting to go bad rather than replace it with the same cluster will the cluster from a 2005 work the dimensions and plug look identical and i like the updated cluster better thanks
Perfect, now I can replace the screen hopefully this summer. Had a terrible experiences with the screen fading after parking the car under the sun for a bit. It baffles me how this happens, my moms BMW has the same type of screens but they don't fad in heat, and her car is just as old... What do you think seems to be the issue?
Brendon Fernando Thank you for watching. I have had a few bmw's and their displays never fade; however, they sometimes lose pixels like Audi does but not as often as the mercedes display fades. It is mostly the Mercedes Models from 2001-2004 that does that. The mercedes cluster tends to get really warm. After driving for long, touch it and you will feel how warm it gets, that causes the pixels to fade
No problem, great video! Ohhh its simply just heat... Hmm okay, so why should I replace the screen at all then? I mean for my vehicle if I do let the interior cool down, the screen seems to be fine. If I replace the screen would I have similar issues over time?
Brendon Fernando it will be good for at least 7-8 years. Even when it is hot you will be able to read the new display perfectly.
World Mechanics Okay perfect! Thank you so much!
I live in Arizona so it gets hot! I want to fix my screen too and thanks for posting this! It looks easy enough I want to fix my screen.
RedLight GreenArrow It is not very complicated as most people think. Thank you for watching our channel. We have many Mercedes W203 videos on our channel :)
Same here! Here in 2020 this video saved my display for my 02
World Mechanics 3 years later but I finally did it!!
Followed this to the letter, and worked perfect. THANKS! Only recommend be careful with screen since it is made of very thin glass which can crack easily.
With the help of this vid, I've just replaced the display. Big big help! Thanks!
excellent video! my 02 c230k has bad LCD. had no idea it was so easy to fix. thank you.
Dan Luck I am so happy it was helpful to somebody! Happy Holidays!
Thanks for sharing, this was one such a simple video, I actually thought a big portion of the dashboard would go down... any way I just changed my fuel pump and after which, the gauge on cluster refused to work, what could be the problem?
this is an amazing video, very appreciated! i have the same issue but when i drive the car more then 1 hr the screen got faded, or when its too hot and my radio also stop working properly! is it anything else wrong with my car ir i just have to change the lcd screen? thank you so much for ur help.
Имам същия проблем на ц320 , но не мога да отделя 200+ лева. Засега ще го търпя така. Благодаря за инфото, ще ми е необходимо когато реша да го сменя!
plamen Ivanov radvam se che e bilo polezno. Az moq si go karah taka 3 godini dokato namerih vreme i vazmojnost. Kogato e studeno raboteshe perfectno...pri dalgo karane ili toplo vreme izblednqvashe. Izvinqvam se za latinicata...no nqmam kirilica na pc-to.
@@WorldMechanics при мен долните два ъгъла (където е температурата и часовника) са бледи и стават съвсем бледи при топло време. Всички пиксели са ОК, но тези два участъка просто едва светят и не виждам показанията. Дали не е проблем с подсветката (нещо като това ruclips.net/video/0q2wFr07AAI/видео.html) или трябва да се смени целият дисплей?
What is this part Called? I have an 2002 c240 . Great video by the way
Great video! Did doing this cause any new fault codes?
Now i know how to replace my LCD Display on my 2001 C320!!.. Thanks so much.. do you have a video on how to fix the open door warning sensor???.. Thanks again
Sorted! thanks however when taking out the old LCD screen the two clips holding it in are as fragile as hell! unfortunately I managed to break one of them /
As a result left a slightly darker strip on the display on the side of the broke clip. Just be careful.
I recently bought 2003 Mercedes c240, but what w standing for? Are they the same?
my display light in my w203 its a low i dont see nothing ..you know how fix how up the light
On the left of your Cluster ist the Stick that allows you to reset the Kilometers/Miles that you have been driving... Turn this Stick leftwards or rightwards to adjust the LCD-Brightness 🙂
Worked like a champ... Thanks for the video!
Thanks for this video. Do you know how to correctly place the panoramic roof ?
Thank you soo much!!!
Great video, is the 2006 Vito similar?
Very helpful!! Thank you!!
An excellent right to the point tutorial! Thank you!!
are lcd problems common with the 203 series? i ask because i have one with a problem!
Many thanks!!
Hi
If I buy a new compartment will it read the new km reading ?
Or will it read the original km reading ?
I can get a full compartment rather than just changing the multi function led screen.
What’ do you recommend ?
Will it read new petrol gauge etc
Great video! Could you let me know were to find the German spare part. Thanks!
Greetings from Turkey 👏👏👏👏👏👏
That really helps... And so easy!! Thanks..
Great VERY SIMPLE Video! Thank you so much!
Great video ty
Great Video and so easy to so , I did it myself in 25 minutes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀
Thank you for all your videos... are very helpful... I have a 2004 Mercedes-Benz kompressor C230 Coupe... and I have the same problem with cluster display... I live in Nicaragua Central America. where I can buy the display. give the web site please
you are good
worked like a charm thanks super easy
Can we get one in different color? If so, where?
hiwhen you change the lcd display does the original mileage come up or does it come up as zero mileage.thanks.
trevor crehan thank you for watching. When you replace the lcd display only only the original mileage come up. The display does not store any information.
Greetings. I just watched this video. Very good explanation. I would like to know if there is a solution about a non functional right side of the multifunctional steering wheel on my W203 C220 CDI. The volume + and - are not working. Best regards.
Thanks for the video, can you share the link where you purchased it from eBay?
Thank you very much! This was a huge help for me!
Pls upload a video on removal of axillary input unit of santa Fe 2012.
Very very good thank you
Thank you so much very helpful
I can not remove the cable. Not as easy as what you show. Any tips?
we just bought a 2002 c 320 and the LCD needs to be replaced but I was wondering if you know why sometimes we start the car the gauges and seats and windshield wipers wont work will replacing the LCD fix the problem or is this to different issues
Just ordered a new screen. I did some "exploratory surgery" on the cluster before, and the OCD cleaning it after it got a bit dusty killed me.
Awesome. Your videos quite helpful.
Question: I have a message on my new LCD that reads "Restraint System Visit Workshop!" I've never seen this message before -- but I notice that the same message appears on your new LCD at the end of your video. What do I need to do to erase this message - which has never before appeared - regarding my Restraint System? Thank you for your video!
Hi,
Great and easy DIY 👍
Do you have the link for the eBay?
I would like to buy one also.
Ghank you
Erkan O I am still trying to find it. I contacted the guy I purchased it from but he has not replied yet. Will let you knwo next week
World Mechanics yes if you can please my screen is completely orange right now
There is a company in UK called AKSpeedo www.akspeedo.com
Is restyle instrument cluster compatible with non-restyle car?
You're a champ, thanks for.this video
Did not take me 10 mins to replace, less if I could see the plug in the back has a cross bar to push out the plug. now the display is bright.
I own a c40 and I am interested in changing the cluster completely. Does the new one fit into this one?
+Austin Mccloud I will do some research and I will get back with you
+World Mechanics Thank you, I am looking into the 2005-2006 cluster.
+Sam Wardlow hey, did you do?
Hello! I have the same problem with the screen of radio-cd. Is it the same process to fix it? Thanx
Hello..I have an 2002 c240 ... my cluster is not working and my turning signals are not working either....do you think is a relay or something else...??? thank you
Would like to ask after the change needed programming?
Thanks for the video where I can buy the part and what its part number
Hi I have a problem with my Speedometer on W203 C240, bulb on the cluster died, and LCS fade away. some mechanics said that need change the processor. I need your oppinion
thank you
jfeng20gmail Thank you for watching us and we are glad it was helpful :)
hey World Mechanics i just replaced a whole instrument cluster on my friends c240 sedan. once i did it the mileage was at 3 miles, he wants to resell the car and needs the original mileage back on it!. is there anyway to do that. also he is getting a lot of warnings do they go away over time ? like the srs warning and the steering column .
+GTbigfeetj turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then to the right a few times and some of the warning messages might go away. The mileage is a complicated deal since in the U.S. it is illegal to mess with it. The dealer is the only option that I would trust in this case.
World Mechanics Yeah i already did the whole left and right thing that is the first thing id do. but i guess you're right ive been looking everywhere. but hey i guess i cant do none for the mileage
hi sir. i have c240 2004 model. is this same same procedure? and second question where i can get tools?
Excelent video, can you tell me where you fint this spare. thanks for your help.
Fernando Alvarado I will send you the link tomorrow. I have it saved on another computer. Thank you for watching us

What is the part number/ details, please?
SRS lite.?? Were you able to turn it off.
Mine came on when i did the display on my c240
I also had a P0600 code. Still
kilometers will change?
Any tips on how to remove the cable? I am stuck!
Do you have the part number for this? Some ebay listings indicate if they are made in China (Allway?) but I cannot find one made in Germany.
Just did this now the whole cluster is not working what could be the problem and how do l fix it??
Thanks for this. My odometer shows six dashes like "- - - - - -". How can I restore the mileage? Should buy a new instrument cluster?
Did you ever figure it out? I have the same problem
Thank u i thought i needed glasses,ha ha very good video
I did this and when I went to install it back in my car, I plugged it in and there's nothing coming up. Not even the needles or lights are coming up? Any suggestions?
HaythamGStudios u figure it out having same issue
Hi, I'm in Portugal, and I've tried to find the display on ebay, can you send me the link? I couldn't find the dispay with the descrption w203 mercedes benz display, even with other sequence or words. All the best
Will this work on a 2004 c240 as well?

hi,
is the screen same on C30 CDI AMG 2003 ?
Thanks :)
Hi,
Thanks for posting . where can i buy the display for my C240, 2003
+Hamid Group a few sellers offer them on ebay. Make sure that you buy one from US or England. Avoid the Chinese ones. Mercedes are very picky cars
Thank you!
