It looks like you already tore it apart, Joe, but my 85 190D did that rather frequently - I needed to be authoritative with the reset button otherwise it would get confused and click. If it started clicking, I could just push the button in all the way, and it would stop clicking and start counting miles. There is probably something internally broken, since neither of my 87s do that, but it's been like that for going on two years now, and it used to be a 550+ mile per week car before I took it off the road. I'd be curious to hear what you find if you tear the cluster apart. K
