Mike...I think it's awesome as a news anchor you work on your cars! I'm a retired college administrator. I do close to 95% of the repairs on my Rolls Royces, Jaguars and Mercedes! My faculty and students couldn't believe I got dirty and greasy! They thought I read books all the time! You explain the repairs simply. Keep up the great work! Take care!
Very impressive Richard! Sounds like you have a nice collection of cars. I’ve wanted a Bentley Arnage for years now (not the BMW engine though). Maybe one day I’ll find one for the channel. Thanks fir the kind words!
@@MonkeyWrenchMike I have a 99 Arnage because it was the ONLY year the car has the BMW engine and does NOT have the known head gasket problems. My Bentley dealership guy says EVERY 2000+ Arnage with the Rolls/Bentley engine will have head gasket issues! It's just when! It's a manufacturing defect, but Bentley would not admit it! The HG replacement will cost $12,000+! BE careful & try to find one with the HG already done!
Thanks for your response, I have a code reader as well but it's not showing I have an error. Obviously I have an error because it's on my screen, I will try to remove it and reinstall it. Thanks again.
Thanks for the videos. They're very entertaining. Keep it up. One question, what is your general method for identifying parts and part numbers? I go back and forth between RockAuto and Car-Part but am always trying to learn the best way to ID and source parts for repair.
Mike, what is that little screen for on the left in your tachometer? It was blank the whole time. I think in my 2001 e320 that is the ambient temperature screen because my main screen does not show the temp. I need to change out my main screen because it is faded very bad.
will all warning lights with signal light indicator also go power off when this LCD screen damaged ? My whole instrument cluster no power now .please answer .thanks.
You need to reset the memory position feature for auto lift away for the power steering wheel tilt. I had the same problem on my 1997 E320 and when I did this procedure it cured the problem. The column goes up and down just not out and back.
Whatever your doing it for I’m enjoying it so please continue do it. One more thing so are you strictly doing this channel for Mercedes or are you going to switch up on us
I would have worn gloves when dealing with that screen and why it was apart I could have washed the console window why it was apart.. Also technically you should have been wearing a grounding strap working with that board, but to be fair I put in thousands of boards and never wore a grounding strap
Hello, I have one question, after replacing my LCD screen my SRS error appeared, I saw it appears on yours too. Did it go away after a while. Or I need to go to dealer to get it fix. Thanks
I went to my mechanic to have this LCD screen fixed for my 2004 C240 4matic, but he told me he couldn't do it and I'd have to have it fixed at Mercedes. However, My mechanic was able to fix the turn signal switch, and do Service B repairs for the Benz. I wonder how much this LCD would cost for Mercedes or any other mechanic to fix it for me? Does anyone know an approximate price?
You actually lucked out on this car in that MB learned to do these instrument pods right. On the older models you have to remove the needles because the screens hook up under the entire face. I just replaced mine and it is very hard to return the needles back to the correct positions because they do not have any kind of catch on their stems to reset them with. The temp and clock are also separate little screens and the ribbons are glued onto the board. My new screens does not seem to be any brighter than the old one. A waste of $100 and time and frustration. I hate Mercedes!
GREAT video. Haven't seen one for this repair yet. Keep making more content like this! Thanks Mike!
Thanks for the vid! Gonna do this real soon to a C240 we're getting so I loved seeing the steps!
Great repair! You make everything fun. Keep up the great videos Mike!
Thank you!!
Great job, looks like replacing parts on PC 💻, very delicate but awesome explanation.
Great job Mike... Appreciate the content
Great video Mike

Love your videos.

Mike gets his indoctrination to ribbon cables. We're gonna be watching Mike replace LCD panels in Vizio TV's....lol. Good stuff, Mike keep 'em coming.
Great job!
Nice video Mike, you can always be a Mercedes Mechanic 👍
Good job. Glad to see this one worked out for you. Interested to see which ones you are going to sell.
ThanksEverette.... one is leaving the herd soon. Stay tuned!
Great job
Such excellent talent.
Why thank you!
Thanks for the Video. My car is now driving backwards. Just the way I like it :)
But seriously, Great Video. Screen replaced with ease.
Always seen this in your intro but missed this video
Thanks for your response, I have a code reader as well but it's not showing I have an error. Obviously I have an error because it's on my screen, I will try to remove it and reinstall it. Thanks again.
Nice Video.. Should fix same thing on my 2001 C Merc too. I Have 220 CDI Diesel with 168tml.
Top top top. From Portugal

I do the same thing. I use RockAuto to see other cars have the same part numbers! I seem to trust it more than car-part.
Hey there, thanks for the video! Does it require any programming when the new lcd is installed?
Mike, what is that little screen for on the left in your tachometer? It was blank the whole time. I think in my 2001 e320 that is the ambient temperature screen because my main screen does not show the temp. I need to change out my main screen because it is faded very bad.
Thank you just install a new one , not as easy but got it done
will all warning lights with signal light indicator also go power off when this LCD screen damaged ? My whole instrument cluster no power now .please answer .thanks.

I’ll give it a try. Thanks!
Great vid Mike. Makes me wonder if you could fit the later w203 dash with the circular speedo/tacho to the earlier models???????
Haven’t tried... but I like the newer one!
That was a fun to watch video - but for some reason it made me a little nervous... very delicate parts when compared to a steering control arm, eh?
After doing this install the SRS LIGHT is lit however no codes show up. Any solution?
Whatever your doing it for I’m enjoying it so please continue do it. One more thing so are you strictly doing this channel for Mercedes or are you going to switch up on us
It’s mostly Mercedes right now but I need to find something out there, that’s kind of different. If you have suggestions let me know!
I would have worn gloves when dealing with that screen and why it was apart I could have washed the console window why it was apart.. Also technically you should have been wearing a grounding strap working with that board, but to be fair I put in thousands of boards and never wore a grounding strap
Have you fixed ESP?
Hello, I have one question, after replacing my LCD screen my SRS error appeared, I saw it appears on yours too. Did it go away after a while. Or I need to go to dealer to get it fix. Thanks
Mine was an actual airbag error I had to clear. My code reader is an iCar soft reader that can clear those codes. Good luck!
Only problem now is you can’t see it with polarized sunglasses

I wish my '01 Allroad was that easy! Mine is soldered...
Ouch... I might have failed at that one!
Why my seat belt dosent beep ?
The backlight lcds were my problem not the screen.
Where did you order it from
eBay! Don’t get the Chinese one. Go for the one from Taiwan!
