You can try a cap discharge, remove positive battery cable and negative battery cable from battery, touch and hold the two together for at least 10 seconds. I know it works on vw's when a module starts doing wierd things, puts it back to basic settings.

I don't believe the ECU on a W124 is programmable.

Then how do you put the light in the dash out after fixing what was wrong?

Thank you very much!
