If you follow the details in my post #17 or that of #35 you can't go far wrong. It's fairly simple once you can use a screwdriver C | | | | | 09-16-2009, 06:08 PM | #64 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
I recently tried to sort out the Cruise Control issue, still no luck. It really sucks that there is no visual indicator on the dash when the Cruise Control is on/activated. I'm running blind hoping I get that last wire sorted out. Quote: Originally Posted by John Firestone here you go | __________________

I designed for the worst case.

I was only concerned about the MPG being accurate, because my MPH was NOT accurate. Since they do not use each other's info to make calculations, my MPG should be correct.
Can you answer my original question? Does your MPH (average speed...whatever you call it) read accurately when moving and when stopped? | MPH is an AVERAGE speed over the course of the trip. if you reset it while stopped it will read 0 | | | | | 03-02-2011, 05:33 PM | #69 | | Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: NOR CAL Posts: 51 |

I tried a few times by disconnecting the unit completely for a few days. At one stage, it suddenly started working again out of the blue and then when back to it's old ways. Sadly, I've now said goodbye to my E36 Compact but am enjoying my replacement - an E46 Convertible !!

Lever the clock / unit out. Just use a small flat screwdriver and put if around the sides, only in about 0.3mm and start levering it out. Once out, simply disconnect the electrical connection off the back.
