Outside Temperature Display?? And Clock??

[Hip001]

The lil area that (I think) is supose to display the outside temp is just a greenish glow. Is this a comon problem? Can I repair this?

Also the Analog clock below the Tach does not work. Is there a repair or fix for this?

BTW: my car is a 1986 300SDL 98k miles

Thank you for reading this! Any help you can offer is GREAT!

Here is a way to repair your clock:

For the temp issue, it is most likely one of two things: the sensor (wire running from front of car near/on license plate bracket/bumper to fusebox; or, its the display unit that is part of the instrument cluster, easy to replace with another unit.

Thank you Markus and Teutone.
This forum is freaking AWESOME!!! You guys ROCK!
Wonder what that would cost at the Dealer?

Does anyone know if I can just replace the temp display?

Where is the best place to find something like that? Is it a dealer only part?

[markusfmeyer]

I've got one if you need it. I can check tonight for you when I look for some other parts for people.
