Passat (B5) :: MFA Readout Screen (Dashboard)


Dec 8, 2006

I have a 2000 Passat. Have any of you had an issue with you MFA unit. My red screen (which reads out the trip mileage/fuel mileage) has had a long term problem. My screen is gradually losing the red lines (LED).

I had one line burn out and now a second red line in the screen will not light up. In essence, my screen is gradually losing lit lines on the screen. I had this problem when I first bought my car new. I had the entire MFA unit replaced due to this issue under warranty. However, the replaced screen is now exhibiting the same problem.

Prius (2004-09) Fuel :: Mpg Readout On The Screen Around 44.7 To 45.0 Mpg

We've only had the car for a week but I'm puzzled by what I'm seeing for the mpg on the screen. At no time has the screen indicated an average mpg of outside the range of 44.7 to 45.0 mpg. This is despite filling it up, resetting the trip meters and immediately heading up the Cajon Pass twice while the instant fuel economy indicated 25 mpg or less. I understand the inconsistency of calculating at the pump because of the bladder but doing that has worked out to 2 fills in the high 30s, one in the high 40s and one of 53 mpg. Yet the car still reads 44.7 to 45.0.

It's not a big thing because I don't depend on it; I tend to fill the car when it goes below 1/2 full and over time I will have enough pump calculations to give me a fairly accurate depiction of my average mpg.

I own a 2005 RX330 and all my dashboard is cracked. The model I have is the one with the simple clock screen.

The GPS will be functional? Below two links, first one is the kind of screen I have and second one is the kind of screen I would like to install : [URL] .....

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Transmission - Gear Indicator Disappears From The Screen On Dashboard

My 2010 Santa Fe has some transmission issues.

Now and then I notice the vehicle is kind of slow and every now and then when going from P to R, or R to D, it enters with a bang and after that the Gear indication in the dashboard disappears. At that moment the car is completely sluggish, like if it is some kind of lock mode. I have to turn it off and on again and all is back to normal, however, after an episode that it enters with a bang the transmission doesn't react as well as normally, it takes a while for the car to behave normal again.

The fact that the gear indicator disappears from the screen on the dashboard suggests to me that this is a computer problem more than a mechanical issue.

Prius (2010-12) :: MPG Readout On Back Bumper Is Possible?

I am interested in having an MPG readout on my back bumper, maybe next to the tag. Nothing large and in your face, but something someone might notice as they cruised along behind or next to me. So that might even mean dynamic brightness to prevent people from being blinded at night, or it being a distraction.

Golf IV R32 :: Computer Readout Section Of Instrument Cluster Is Dim?

I was driving in the sun the other day and realized I can't read my orange information center section of the instrument cluster during the bright day.

Is this normal? It seems dull.

I saw some bulbs for the instrument cluster here:

Would these be a replacement that would fix the issue or is the orange section not using a bulb at all?

Prius (2010-12) :: Dash Readout Turns Off When Turn The Headlights On

We have noticed something strange with the dash in our new 2012 Prius. While driving at dusk and turning the headlights on the dash readout can go completely dark. Leaving only the gear selection indicator visible. This can be completely disorienting and dangerous. This happens if the dimmer wheel is set in the lowest position. It will turn back on if the dimmer wheel is moved up from the lowest setting.

I can recreate the issue parked by simply having the headlights on and dimming the switch all the way down. It will shut off the speedometer, MPGmeter, and Hyrbrid indicator screens.

Chevrolet - Silverado :: 2003 - CEL Comes On / Readout Says Reduce Engine Power

This truck has been a good running truck until recently..... lately you can drive for awhile then the check engine light comes on... readout says reduce engine power.... if you stop for like 30 seconds or less and restart all is fine. It doesn't do this all the time or every time has done it once a day or 4 times in a row, never a rhyme or reason to it. I have used my computer reader to see if i can find the problem myself but for some reason the reader can't read ( still trying to trace why.... even the free scan from oreillys couldn't link to my onboard computer for some reason) so the problem to the onboard computer not linking to any reader?

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Fuel Gauge And Range Readout Not Working Intermittently

We have an 04 GX-470. Most of the time the fuel gauge and the range readout work OK. However, sometimes, the fuel gauge works, but the range shows 0 miles, or they both don't work - fuel gauge shows empty and range = 0. My wife says she thinks she's seen the gauge = empty but the range still showing xxx miles - I haven't seen that.

We've been to 2 different Lexus dealers, paid for diagnostics at both and gotten no fix. In fact, they have both said they can't find anything wrong.

To my way of thinking, these would both get their initial information from the same source - some sort of sender unit on the fuel tank. However, as both gauges do not always go out together, I'm inclined to think that this probably isn't the cause. I would think that the range readout comes from some calculations done by the onboard computer.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Odometer Backlight Working But No Digital Readout?

I already searched and seemed to only find info about, no backlight but lcd readout was still working. My backlight reacts to the lights being turned off and on; so I know it works but just no numbers. I noticed it on the way to work after the truck had been sitting in the hot sun for a while but When I got off work after dark around 11:00pm it worked all the way on the drive home, but I went to grab a bite and it no longer worked. I figure it could have something to do with sitting in the heat? It's the stx cluster with only the speedo and no tac if that makes a difference. I really don't want to have to drop cash on a new cluster.

1997 Ford F250 4x4 HD ... My vehicle has about 197,000 miles on it and for the most part still functions properly. I do have an odd "happening" sometimes and here is a description:

I will be driving along and all of a sudden the digital odometer readout will go blank and the speedometer will drop to 0 if I was going 60 mph or below or to 120 if I was going over 60 mph.

Where do I start troubleshooting?
