Default Trip computer on '89 200 TQ

My digital trip computer in the center of the IC works...well kinda. Average MPG and Average MPH only display 0.0 and won't change. Would you say it's the gauge itself or some sensor(s) that feed it information?

Boxerfan,

How did you guess? ;o)

Cruise doesn't work but my speedo does. What's broken?

It's probably the sender on the transmission. I swapped 3 ICs and the last one I knew worked because I pillaged FrankenAudi for it. It must be the sender on the tranny. If it skipps just a little it will toss the cruise off I think. Also, does the odometer work? maybe stuck? Try resetting it to double check.

Default Just tossing an idea out...

try holding the trip reset in so it remains disconnected and see if that helps at all.
