Cluster/trip computer issue

I've searched a lot but haven't found any answers to this one. I cannot access the menu for the cluster computer. I'm guessing the fuse for it is popped due to me spilling some diet coke in the center console. So, I can't set the time, or reset the odometer. Ideas where to look for a fuse? It's not one of the 5 in the trunk, or any of the fuses in the passenger side footwell. All of them are good.

Thanks,
John

Do you mean the service interval? The trip computer is reset by pressing the 0.00 button on dash, right of steering wheel.

No. Pushing the menu button in front of the cupholder does nothing. I cannot get into the menu that lets you select which options you want in the cluster display. This means I also can't set the time. Also, the odometer reset no longer works.

Most likely your switch has been damaged. I bought a spare due to a similar mishap.

And you are correct. I bought a cup holder/computer off Ebay for $40 and swapped the controller. Instrument panel is working correctly again. Thanks! (terrible design btw to put something so liquid sensitive IN the cupholder)
