My trip computer decided to stop displaying. Does anyone know a source for repair or replacement?
I am located in west coast of Canada but US source would work too.

Does anyone have any repair information on these? I don't have access to a electronics repair bench
Right now but am wondering if a good bash with a hammer might make it behave.

With the key in pos. #2, check fuses 10 & 13 in the under hood fuse box with a test light or DVOM.

Wragie, I've done an ebay search for these part numbers and the only ones available are from Europe.

You can use any of the following: 163 540 52 11, 15 11, 03 18, 09 18, 10 18

Would any of these work? They are all US based sellers.

I think I best apologize to you two. Between my wife having a stroke and business overload I had totally zoned out on keeping up with this. Sorry guys. (fyi all ok now)

Ok so back to tripin out...

Could this be a fuse issue or did the previous test rule that out?

Is it possible to repair the module or is it just a replace only deal? I used to repair boards but usually having a diagram helps to do that. It's been a few years so that would be "fun".

Hi Wragie,

I have Canadian 1999 ML320 parts available.

I parted out my ML320, and all the parts I offer are in great condition.... I've shipped numerous parts to the USA, including to one of the W163 Forum Moderators.

I do have the Trip Computer for your vehicle... P/N A163 540 12 11 made by DELCO Electronics.

I live in Ontario. If you're interested, please PM me, and I can send you a pic of the computer for you.

Blessings, Arctic
