- Mercedes Benz W220 (S430/S500) Instrument cluster removal and display fix - Bad capacitors on the DIC , driver information center. LUM0582A *NOTE: You may have to also replace the other 5th capacitor not in line with the other four. The tiny one I did not need to replace.*
Your video really helped me, I was having a dim display & I only found a full LCD replacement for $100
But thanks to you I replaced the capacitors for around $11 and now working properly.
Again thank you & keep the good work.
That's great to hear! You can't even find new units like this any longer so I'm happy to help.
Great video! It really helped, and I was able to exchange my old display for one off EBay that actually worked! Thanks so much
My display is out like yours, but where do I buy the capacitors? And do you have a video on how to remove and replace the capacitors? I bought the cluster removal tools today. Thanks!
I bought them on ebay. You can view any electronics soldering basics video on youtube to learn how to desolder and solder caps.
Amazing work buddy 🫡 big thumps u👍🏻
whats the size of the 5th one?
Same as the other, 4.7 microfarad. It should say it right on the capacitor.
This was really great help🙏🏻 god bless you 🥰
Well done! Very informative.
Hey! Awesome video, I am in the process of replacing my display module as well, I found a brand new display module online and I was wondering if I just replace the module, would it be plug and play? Or would I have to do something else for it to show the information correctly? Thanks again for the video
It should be plug and play, just make sure you get the correct one out of the two possible part numbers.
Thanks for the help!!
what is the dimension of the 5th capacitor?
4.7 mfd, 35v
My display is not only dim rather looks like "washed out". Sometimes it works after running for awhile and sometimes not.
I was just thinking on finding a used cluster and pull out the LCD . How do I know if it would be fixed with the capacitors or if I need a whole display? Car is 2004.
Thank you for your video ! Very helpful and detailed.
Yes, it would be far easier to pull a used LCD out of a cluster, but that can end up needing capacitors too. They basically all need it after 20 years. In your case of washing out, you may actually have a bad LCD backlight or some other component is faulty such as the cover glass or polarizer layers.
@@Bizija123 Unfortunately the IC has to be out even to figure out which donor display to look for. The LCD has 2 different configurations (2 OR 3 cables/Ribbon) so the donor has to match. I will check the capacitors while am in there and maybe I will be lucky. 😅
@@walidmorsi7156 The donor cluster would need to be a facelift w220 starting from 2003 I think would fit. So 03,04,05 would likely be compatible but not the 00,01 or 02 model years.
I have S320 and the speedometer have some issue, lcd polarizer already melted i did clean it and replace new. But nothing display just backlight. Is that same issue like this video that i have to change capacitor? Thanks. Sorry bad english😅
@@andrewzikrie285 did you replace the screen only? Or the whole screen assembly? If the latter, I know the assembly has 2 different types/numbers written on the bottom of the assembly. I am yet to do this but am sharing based on the information I gathered
great share. like another question, can you provide mfg and part numbers for the capacitors that need replacing? thank yoU!
There aren't any part numbers but capacitors specifications. You need these www.ebay.com/itm/274996459942 and these www.ebay.com/itm/125983800514
@@Bizija123 thank you. I was more concerned about ensuring I order the correct physical size since they are surface mount. I know that some SMT electronics come in different sizes even though they have the same specs. thanks again for the quick reply!
@@ToddEmmershy They are tiny, about 5x5mm
So, this did not work for me. I still have a dimly lit DIC. Did you perform this and it worked for you? Do you know of another solution? thanks.
by the way, i would not recommend you doing this unless you have excellent expertise in removing and reinstalling SMT components. I tore the pads up and some of the traces. It really sucked.
If I get a new cluster, does it have to be reprogrammed or can I just hook it up?
It won't need programming to your VIN, it will work, however you need to download the coding off your old cluster and upload into the replacement cluster. The coding tells the cluster which features your car has, etc. You will also have inaccurate odometer. Odo will just reflect the donor cluster mileage.
Buddy replace the whole display panel with a working panel but it’s not working on it 🤔 could you plz help me little more about this 🙏🏻😊
Did you replace it with the same part number as your previous one? There are two different lcd panels.
@@Bizija123 I’m glad your reply to me 🙏🏻
Actually brother I bought another one complete meter and unfortunately there was a issue with the LCD panel and I just replace with my original panel 🤔 i thought it will work 😵💫
@@razirover5429 So you replaced the entire cluster and the lcd panel and nothing works? I'm not sure exactly what's wrong. You may have the wrong year cluster installed. Please post on benzworld.org forums. I am on there and others can help.
@@Bizija123 yes brother i got another use entire cluster with damage display panel and mine original cluster entire needles wasn’t working properly 😵💫I hope you understand brother 👀 so after that I just take off my original cluster and swap the LCD panel with new clusters I thought maybe it will work this LCD panel on 2nd cluster but still have the same issue 👀
@@razirover5429 I understand brother. What is the issue after you did the replacements? Is there nothing on the display? Does the replacement cluster light up? Do the needles work?
Good guy.
