2008 Mercedes S550 5.5l Odometer Dashes - Mileage Correction (EEPROM)
Today we have a 2008 Mercedes S550 that the customer said the cluster stopped working. They went to Mercedes and they said it would be $3000 for a new cluster but there was none availible so they put a used cluster in then said they could not program it. Let's try to fix the mileage on the new cluster and see if we can get the correct mileage to display. Currently the car just shows dashes for the mileage.

I'd set the whole house on fire if I tried that but awesome video and thanks for sharing!
I am glad you liked it!
Rob your repair videos are outstanding. Ready to dive into the new videos in the master tech membership. Why did I wait I don’t know but better late than never. 😊 Artie
I'm glad you like it!
Hi Robert i have two similar boards from a scooter, that the first broke the display, can i transfer the EPROM with the real mileage to the good without programming ? thanks
It depends if the mileage is stored in the eeprom or not. Some modules store it in a mcu
@@RobertDotterer ok thanks i will search where it's stored
Nice work 💪🏻
