Strange number 51 on check computer.

[The Spanish]

Hello, the picture bellow is from and RS2. Guy says when he presses a button of the cluster that number appears.

Any idea what is that?

Cheers

It is a fault condition - I have had it with a cracked pcb behind the cluster.

So it should be checked. Any stealer should solve it, no?

I think a dealer will replace the instrument cluster rather than take it to bits to see what is wrong.

If its just a cracked PCB, then take it out and hard wire it. If you're any good with a soldering iron, then it shouldn't take more than an hour including removing and refitting the cluster.

What is a PCB?

Hi Spanish,
A "pcb" is a printed circut board. If you are looking at the back of the insturment cluster it is the flat piece with all the bulbs & wires attached to it.
Sort of looks like a road map with the circuts looking like roads. When one of these roads "burns up" or there is a break in the circut strange things can happen.

Printed Circuit Board

Its the (normally green) board that all the electonics is on.

Understood. Will make him check all the cluster connections on the PCB

Thanks,
