i have a 01 slk 230 im parting out that was hit pretty good and i want to know the mileage on it since everything on the car basically looked new and it was probably low mileage. I got the cluster out of the car and there are 2 connectors that go to it with a lot of wiring. Is there anyway I can run power to it and be able to see how many miles are stored on the unit?

thanks

the mileage is just displayed in the instrument pod, but on a car with a computer, the mileage is stored in the computer

Reinstall it and hook up the battery? If missing parts prevent that, then I would just estimate 10-12K per year.

Good luck.

If you can't get it to readout, then run a carfax report and hopefully it will have been recorded recently.
