"Blowing" FusesFuses and Circuit Breakers are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] from short circuits and overload conditions which can cause extreme overheating which can result in damage to the conductors, and worse, the possibility of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle. When a fuse, and replacement fuses, repeatedly blow, is an indicator of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short. Do not install a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install a larger fuse would invite damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire. The proper "fix" is for a qualified technician, who knows what he/she's doing, to troubleshoot the circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse].
Yes, cluster referrs to a gear cluster, or clutch band assembly, either of things failing would stop the transmission from working.
the indicator light is powered by the transmission fuse(10 amp fuse) check the fuse and see if it's blown. the indicator light is powered by the transmission fuse(10 amp fuse) check the fuse and see if it's blown.
On the instrument cluster.
I assume you mean a turn signal indicator on the instrument panel. Remove the instrument cluster (procedure varies with different vehicles). The bulbs for all the warning and indicator lights, as well as for instrument illumination, are typically in twist-out holders mounted on the back side of the cluster.
Had the same problem. Check the wiring on the backup light switch at the transmission. Connection, chaffing, bare wires etc. Fixed mine!
To change the high beam indicator you have to take the instrument cluster out of the dash.
Put a flat head screwdriver behind the indicator cluster and prize it out. Then just twist out the bulb.
Short in dash cluster is common on mazda tribute
Engine, transmission, and abs are under the hood. Airbag, body, cluster, HVAC, are inside the vehicle.Engine, transmission, and abs are under the hood. Airbag, body, cluster, HVAC, are inside the vehicle.
Yes there is a separate bulb.
AnswerYou will need to replace the complete instrument cluster to fix this problem. That happens all the time. Its just the internal circuit board for the instrument cluster wigging out. Yes it is quite common on these cars, it is actually a bad ribbon cable connection between the LCD and the circuit board. There are electronic repair shops that you can send your cluster to that specialize in working on these. Much less expensive than replacing the cluster. Just do an internet search "mercedes instrument cluster repair."
