2003 SL500
Exclamation Odometer showing dashes -------
Hi all.
I was trying to scan through the menus in my 2003 SL500 but could not get the odometer to show. It only shows a line of dashes ---------

My guess is this is security related as to not tamper with the odometer. Has anybody experienced this and how was it fixed please?

Thanks.

you may get away with a battery disconnect (assume this is the original cluster)
