If the instrument panel wonÕt light up, there may be a problem with the wiring. There may also be some fuses that are out.
This is cluster failure! The instrument cluster will need to be replaced this is usually done by certified Mercedes repair facility
wiring to the instrument cluster is faulty. Doors will not lock when gauge cluster is disconnected because they share the circuit. Take out gauges and clean/dialectric grease connections...problem should go away
Ours had a bad instrument cluster. It cost around $300 to fix by replacing the whole instrument cluster. There was nothing actually wrong with the temp it was just the cluster malfunctioning. Ours usually occured in the winter and then worked fine in the summer.
Either your IVR(instrument volage regulator) or a faulty connection from the harness to the cluster.
Dont think this question is detailed enough what is wrong with it? what do you mean panel? the cluster? what is not working
Really need to know exactly what's wrong with it in order to answer this. You'll handle malfunctioning gauges a bit differently than you would inoperable lights, for example.
to look at the gauges something is terribly wrong!!
A short or intermitant short in the steering column or instrament cluster.
A tachometer that shows the wrong reading and get stuck sometimes could be caused by faulty wiring between the transmission and tachometer. It could be caused by a defective instrument cluster.
These vans are bad at the instrument clusters "locking up" and shutting down the "bus", the communication system for the computers on the van. The pins soldered on the back of the instrument cluster can become loose after time and vibration . Under close examination you can see the joints are not solid . Resolder (heat the joints with solder iron).
