So I was driving to Detroit to fly down to Florida for the weekend and stopped to gas up ($52 BTW). Started the car and was about to figure out my miles per gallon and my Trip and Odometer lights were off. This has happend before and before I could change the bulb the last time it started working again. I tried everything but beat it with a hammer to get it to come back on but nothing. Everything else in the guage cluster works except that. I will be in Florida till the 1st and its going to be bugging the hell out of me if I dont figure out whats wrong with it. I hate knowing that my car is sitting that far away with an issue.

(97 2.8 A4 Quattro)

 

So no one as had this issue?

 

Please help.
