Just completed 150,000 mile on my 94 C280. Had it since 2001 and 98K miles. So far so good!

I have the same problem with the odometer LED. Does anyone know how much it cost to fix?

GDawgC220

are the LED's messed up or is it just the lighting? If it's the lighting, you can pull the cluster out and replace the bulb yourself vs going to the dealer and paying a couple of hundred for a 20 minute job.

GDawgC220

if it's the display that is messed up, then you'll more than likely need a new cluster which is about 400-500 plus labor to install.

if it's the bulb behind it, cost you 10 bux and 20-30 minutes of your time or you could go to the dealer and pay a few hundred for them to do the 20-30 minute job for you.

if it's the bulb that's burnt out, i can explain how to take out the cluster and replace it yourself

eddieo45

I don't know if it's just the bulb (I wanted to take a picture of it, but I couldn't get to it before my wife took the car to work). Basically 70,488 could look like 7[ 13E or something like that; does that sound like the bulb or the cluster?

GDawgC220

if the digits all are messed up, like if you took a LCD watch and pushed against the screen to make the numbers/letters all fuzzy, most likely it's the cluster itself (odo portion at least)...

you can usually find used clusters on ebay and then you can have the dealer program it to the amount of miles you have on your car currently so that they match.

If you call up Hatch & Sons in wayland, they are pretty good with prices. They quoted $500 for our ML's cluster (cuz gas gauge sometimes acts up and doesn't register the amount of gas but it's been good for a while now so we held off). Give Ed a call and see what he can do in terms of looking at the cluster itself or replacing it

eddieo45

when I got the car, the broker said that he sees messed up LED's on MB's and BMW's all the time, though that has not been widely supported here on the forums.

GDawgC220

really? I've never seen any car with a messed up LCD ODO before. I don't think it's that common unless it's a defective cluster? Cuz the LCD screen is protected with that piece of plastic that covers the entire cluster...

eddieo45

at the time, he said, "you'll never see that on a Lexus", but I agree; this lehuyvu is the first (other than me) I've encountered. I can't believe I'll find a good one on ebay but I sure will try.

eddieo45

GDawg, is this similar to what I have to buy (to solve the odometer issue)?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...922289116&rd=1

GDawgC220

yeah, similar to that but I think you want the updated cluster. 94-96 had that style shown in the auction. 97+ had the style that you currently have...it's a little different.

eddieo45

have you seen how on ebay, these are marketed as a way of falsifying your mileage? I'm concerned that there's no guarantee that the "new" cluster won't have the same problem, as they aren't pictured powered up; also I wonder what a dealer would charge for the reset, and how they would determine how many miles I even have....
