xsara trip computer screen

Post by avin44 »

The trip computer on my 51 plate xsara has stopped responding to the end of the wiper stalk when I push it, has anyone else had this problem ?, I hoped it might just be a fuse but I'm thinking it's most likely to be good old citroen electrics, if anyone has any ideas for a fix, I would be very grateful to hear them.
Thanks.

Most likely the contacts in the stalk, they suffer distortion, breakage and corrosion.

They are repairable but it is easy to damage them even more unless great care is taken.

There are a few threads covering the dismantling, repair and reassembly on the forum.

Never did get round to fixing the one in my first C5.

Thanks for the reply, I might just leave it alone as it is not really necessary to have, I just hate having things on a car that don't work but I suppose I could get used to not having it working.
