Title: Trip Computer N reg 2.0 ultima 16v
Post by David_Smart on Apr 8^th, 2008, 1:51pm

I put my N reg 2.0 litre Scorpio 16v Ultima in for a lot of work at my garage. I have the car back now but the trip computer on the dash will only show me the miles left with the fuel that I have. It will not show anything else temp., average miles etc etc. Is there anyone who can help me please to resolve this. The garage is 20 miles away and I would have to leave my vehicle. I only just got it back aftyer 2 and a half weeks and a bill of £881.
I live in Aberdeen Scotland

Try spraying a bit of switch cleaner in the buttons, it may help.

Also, try giving the unit a swift whack with the back of your hand, works for me ;)

AS JC states it is most likely dirty contacts prise the switch out and check it is connected correctly and then give the buttons a few good presses and some switch cleaner may help .

Taking it apart & cleaning the contacts will probably sort it, but I find brutality works just as good ;)
