Title: Which is the fuse for cluster/ highline clocks?
Post by: RoMocop on December 02, 2012, 10:17:53 pm
Hi, is anybody able to tell me which is the fuse for the instrument cluster /clocks and would it be ok to disconnect this for 5 mins or so?

Cheers.  :happy2:

The actual fuse positions seem to vary with different year cars (thanks VW).
I would just disconnect the battery instead to reboot everything. You'll get a few dashboard warning lights on reconnection but those should extinguish themselves with a short drive.

Tell me about it, have tried to google it and finding lots of different answers. I have already disconnected and connected the battery a handful of times. :rolleye:

Finally found it- just for reference it was F17 (5A) in the engine compartment. So much for the handbook which listed F17 being the horn. :confused:

why do you want to reboot the cluster?

Do you have any ideas or clues what it could be? It only happens on the home menu, all others are normal. :sad1:

Are you able to change what parameters appear on the screen?

I got my polar and audio menus back but it still freezes when I try to change the peramiters

Swapped back to my old gateway and it has not made a difference

No I have not been brave enough to try changing the parameters lol. Just want to get my display back first- one step at a time lol.

I pulled the stereo fuse out for 5 mins and that has solved the lost screen issues

The clock comes up on the open door screen for me too.

I'm tempted to try and install an older firmwear.

i would try the old firmware and try that as you have nothing to lose

fwiw with the latest firmware 3.0 I have no such issues with my silver polar.

I must caution you on trying to downgrade to the earlier 0.2.7 version if you are using a 7NO canbus gateway in light of my own experiences with the two.

Polar now think that I have a faulty unit and will be sending me a new one

So I am hoping that will fix the problems

The problem with disappearing menus seem to be surfacing with other users of this new black polar.

Baz could you possibly get a pic of your installation list for the gateway when you connect up your vcds cable?

As for the error: Address 75: Telematics- Cannot be reached, don't worry about it as that's normal with the polar connected.

The polar menu has dissopeared now but I still have the audio menu
