I have a 2001 Olds Aurora, 3.5 Lt. Dash displays in Mi./Km. on the Odometer/Temp. Want to change it back to miles.

When I got back in the car after making a short stop I noticed the Dash was blank, I hit the reset and nothing...made another stop, turned it off, went
to the store and back. This Time the Dash Lights appeared to be Working, Except the Display was in KM/C ,,,Would like to see it working in Miles/Degrees F...
SomeOne Know how to Reprogram it, back to normal....Thanks Ruix

Hey man this is got to be your lucky day cos i got the answer for you. I do have a 2001 aurora and the same thing happened to me today... I just went to the Chevrolet dealership and i learnt something new that i'm about to let you know too. All you have to do is press and hold the OFF/ON button for 5-8 seconds and the display will either say "English" or "Metrics". I think it changes back to normal when you see the "English" display and goes back to Km/ Celsius when you see "Metric" as you press and hold that button for a couple of seconds... Just play with it and let me know if it worked.
