2. There is a thumb wheel on each side that holds the front of the instrument cluster to the dash. The rear of the cluster has an extension that holds it down. If you look at the two buttons on the bottom of the instrument cluster on each side, the bolt is located between them and towards the front a little. This is a pic of the thumb wheel so you can locate it.

Replacing one of the buttons on the bottom of the instrument cluster. 2004 Murcielago 1. Remove surround of the steering column. 8 philips head screws from the bottom. Consisting of 4 screws near the middle that attaches to steering column. Then 2 screws each side that attach to too piece of the surround.

Alarm is disabled, no immobilizer preventing start. Instructions say that even if battery is disabled, alarm system remembers setting. note: this is MED 2000 alarm system from 2004. Using my replacement key without electronic key fob, fully functioning.

Other people have fitted Size H6. Perhaps either size will work.

thx for the info.

Works for 2004 Murcielago coupe E-gear Had only received 1 key when purchased car. I contacted dealer and it seemed reasonable $750 for key fob and programming. But I wanted to see if I can find a work-around. I was worried if my 1 key's electronics stopped working, the car would be immobilized and have to be towed. The immobilizer turns on automatically. Checked the owner's manual and I did have the PIN card, so I could do that if my key electronics failed. I purchased a generic Audi key HU66AT6 for Audi A4 A6 and had it cut. It could open the doors and turn the car on. The immobilizer would keep it from starting. I figured, a good first step. If I locked my key in the car, this spare could open the door. The place that cut the key said that they didn't have the right chip to clone the key fob signal. It seems that they can clone electronics for other cars. Instead of buying a new key fob and having dealer program the car to each key, clone the signal from a working key fob so that it thinks it is the same key. Haven't found anybody who can clone Lamborghini keys yet. Then I read that the automatic feature of the MED 200.L 04 alarm can be turned off. Luckily I had the instructions. User Programming is entered with the system off by turning the ignition key On-Off 4 times altogether. Press one of the buttons 5 times. Its called System not operating/Reset service. Turns off or on alarm system. (Do need the key fob to program.) Turn ignition key On-Off once to exit User Programming. Now my regular key can start the Murcielago. The alarm system will remember programming even if the battery is disconnected.

The COP are pretty easy to pull up. Used small screwdriver on tab to remove the connectors from COP. sparkplugs just need an extension to reach. simple but lots of hoses and wires in the way. Just take your time and don’t break anything. last pic is 6-12 plugs and COP. COP very clean, some corrosion on some of the plugs.

Still needed more room, removed air filter cover and hoses there is carbon fiber cover over the COP, just 2 nuts. Have to wiggle to remove as many hoses over top. One wire with socket runs over this near 4-5 plug and 9-10 plug.

Sounds like power steering fluid is low. When lift up, fluid is in front shocks. When lift down, power steering fluid returned to reservoir. Would explain steering symptoms.

Thx. I looked it up on NGK website for 2004 Murcielago i will order NGK 2316.

NGK is recommending 4347 instead of 2316. Anyone using this plug? 2004 Murcielago

Tried cleaning connections and had my wife drive. She is really aggressive and drives it like she means it. Some hesitation around 4000 rpm. Threw codes p1306, p1405 along with p1426. I think that means it is misfiring. Maybe new spark plugs will fix it.

Seems like Gallardo had updated exhaust ECU/block that doesn’t have corrosion problems. Did the Murcielago receive the same updated part?

Thx. Will try cleaning and then see if error code returns.

Hi, 2004 Murcielago e-gear with 14,000 miles. new to me, has Kreissieg exhaust, I think the cats are in place. Soft exhaust note. my wife was driving and got engine light. She said it was left and right banks. pulled P1426, erased and took test drive. Same error came back. No other codes. Been checking thermocouple and ECU block. Looks ok. I am going to post pics because don’t know what they are supposed to look like. first pic thermocouple in cat second pic thermocouple wire in ECU block third pic ECU block with cover off

Towhooks.eu/products/lamborghini/murcielago-2001-2005 Found this on Lamborghini Talk forum. 10 Euro tow hook, 6 Euro to ship to US. Exact fit.

For the MIN switch, normally open. Close when it gets more than 250 psi. Don’t know exact number. Figure that’s why front lift light blinks when you hit a bump. MAX switch, normally closed. Opens when above 1400 psi, so it knows when it is fully raised.

Great info. I will have test out the diagnostics.

Does anyone know of a VW/Audi key fob that matches 2004 Murcielago? TIA

Seems like they fail fairly often. On my car, the front lift was raising then coming immediately down with front lift light flashing. This was a MIN switch failure.

Purchasing above switch for MIN. Has the connectors, 1/4 NPT, normally open, can set for >20 bar. getting Barksdale CSK 15-21-12B for MAX switch. Normally closed, 700-1900 psi. They are about $35 a piece.
