Mercedes A160 Display and beeping?

Hi everybody,

I drive a Mercedes A160, and the display, where I normally see the amount of kilometers driven, amongst other things, has gone dead. I see nothing at all anymore.

Now, I thought it was a fuse, yet, I cannot find the particular fuse, not in the manual, also not looking in the fusebox itself, everything looks normal.

This would not be too much of a problem, but now the car beeps every now and then. 15 alarm beeps is the best way to describe it. Since I cannot read the display, I have no idea what is going on, but I don=B4t like it.

Being in Monaco, where one charges you 150 euro for looking out of the window, I thought I=B4d stop by and ask if anybody has any suggestions for me, before I take it to the garage, because I would really like to solve this problem myself (budgetwise).

Any suggestions?

TIA,

Alamo

Just make sure the police don't notice the lack of speed display...(he said helpfully).

It is usually the backlight globe that is blown. The globe is cheap but it is not easy to replace and requires the removal of the instrument panel. I would suggest an auto electrician if MB is too expensive or you find it too difficult. Try the A class forums for some further advice - 'baby-benz' & svc.com (google them). The beeps might be that your service schedule is due which is indicated in this panel that you cannot see. Jim
