a6 C5 black screen after installation - need help !

hello guys,

I am testing my colormfa into my A6 C5, before closing the cluster.
But the screen remains black !

I have checked twice the connections.

There was a mistake with the ground and ignition wires. I solded 22 and 23 (blue connector) instead of pins 23 and 24. Now I have sold it correctly, but it still doesn't work.

When I switch on the ignition, I can see that illumination of colormfa is ON. So I assume the power and ground pins are OK, but I have absolutely no information on the LCD. :o

below you have a small video of my problem

hello burny (from audipassion?),

If you sure what ColorMFA LCD backlight is working, check flexible cable from LCD. Disconnect and connect it back.

How you see boost value ? At idle ?
What engine code ? How you connect (what wire on engine ECU, what pin in cluster connector) ?

Yes ,
I was in the garage, speed 0km/h and i pressed on gas pedal several Times (strongly and shortly). But it remains at 0.0bar.

I checked also on measure group 115, and boost pressure is moving when i press the gas pedal .

My engine is a 2.7T code ARE.

I checked, i am on pin32 into the gray connector.
I need to open again the ECU box, but normaly i am on wire 101. (I have official electrical schemes)

finally, everything works correctly, even the boost pressure gauge. :Yahoo!: :good: :good: :good:

i have a small bug when i want to repeat the acceleration 0-100 km/h. "Reset" button is not working, I will share a movie in a separate topic . But that's not a big deal :)
