Default Computer screen in my cluster shut off, any ideas?

Hey guys,

So I was just driving along today and the display in my cluster shut off. The one that displays outside temp/fuel consumption etc.

If someone opens a door it shows up, when I get low on gas the low gas pops ups, other than that it doesn't show anything, just black. The outside temp and the fuel stuff on the bottom is completely black...

If I press the left button (the one for the date) the computer screen will show a circle at the top with km/h, or it will show the same circle km/h but with 2 lines through it.


Any ideas? Why wont the computer work anymore? Any way to fix it?


Thank you!!

Did you try the buttons on the wiper stalk?

You probably accidentally pressed the button on the bottom of the wiper stalk. Press it again to turn it on.

Theres a botton on the bottom of the stalk that turns the display on/off. Also resets fields if you hold it down.
