C/S and gear light issue
Okay here is another issue that stumps me. I have had this car for about month so I am getting used to it. I noticed that it has the c/s transmission option on the cluster and it shows up with an s or c depending on what you toggle it to. I noticed a couple days ago that the s/c light that is beside the mileage is gone. I also noted that the gear light(shows p,d, r or gear when in manual) that is on the cluster to the left of the mileage is not lite up either, its just a blank space now. Weird! Blown fuse? I have checked all the fuses and they all look good. Trunk. passenger compartment and under hood. Any thoughts or ideas.
thanks

One more case! See thread 'No gear display...' below. This is really odd thing, I wish someone will find the root of it (I had high hopes when this issue was asked in star/vediamo tweak forum, but no answer found there either).

Unfortunately there is no solution found yet, if not count that re-SCN coding of the unit may recover that. Also it's said that using Vediamo that is possible. I just cannot see why in the first place that option disappears. There is an option in star developer mode, but one member who lost his gear display by messing with star, couldn't restore display by enabling that option.

“May” be something simple pull IC - check internals (i.e.: ribbon cable, etc.), and shift – check connections/wiring.

Outstanding Konigstiger! Thanks for that info. I have pulled the gear shift assembly up while working on the windowshade switch (the only other thing on the car that don't work) and it make have worked loose. I checked it a little but didn't know how to take it up completely to check the other end of the harness. Thanks

Vediamo is a factory configuration software, which goes directly mod to hex codes of the softwares, newer version have better graphic interface though.
I wondered why my scan tool didn't work on it.

Official star (actually DAS/XENTRY software) is expensive and requires annual licence fee too but includes updates, and you can buy temporary online code licence. It is not sold for private use, but I think if you establish one-man-garage, you can buy it. Then there are Illegal stuff also on markets.

cmriv above had a clue, was right at least in this case: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...t-cluster.html
transmission letters won't show if transmission coding of ZGW is wrong, why ZGW loose coding but transmission coding only is different thing...
