Thanks for the video! Unfortunately, this solution alone didn't solve my issue of the instrument panel not working on my 2009 c300 (w204). What solved it for me was removing the instrument cluster and unplugging it in the back while the engine was off, then putting the key in the ignition to the on position (engine not cranked), and then replugging the instrument cluster back in, and voila everything turned back on and is back to working normal.
I tried the battery first and that didn't work. Luckily, removing the fuse and putting it in while the car is one did the trick! Thank you!!!!! Saved me a ton of money!
@@jammiii3870 I had it turned on when I tried it. Unfortunately, I have the same issue again, but it's just the screen now.. everything else is working though.
Thank you very much brother! It helped me a lot, I was in the same situation after removing my glove box and cleaning the air conditioning evaporator. I think it was a short circuit, but disconnecting the main battery worked to fix all the lights in my instrument cluster.
But do not remove the negative cable from the battery while the car is running, do it with ignition on only!..he forgot to say that. If you disconnect the negative cable while the car is running the alternator will throw like 18 V and can damage the computer.
There is a voltage regulator on back of the alternator that will regulate the voltage, but you are 100%correct. Turn of engine, before disconnecting the battery !!!!!
I just felt that I need to give an update. Hello Guys! I had the same problem for the past two days. I tried all these methods but it didn’t work for me. I continued driving the car with the same problem. I put on the ignition so as to drive to the mechanic workshop and boom!!! My dashboard was back again😂
Having a similar issue with the 2004 c320, instrument cluster, windows and turn signals just stopped working. Replaced the fuse, replaced my battery and connectors, nothing has changed. Will give these tips a go when I get home If anyone has any advice besides selling the car lol I would love to hear it!!!!
@@chineduoputa8905 replaced the battery and the terminals and it was still giving me issues. I did also try to clean up my fusebox under the hood a bit and thank God it sorta just decided to start working again eventually. Was just sendin er using arm turn signals and guessing my mph/fuel for a bit though.
I have same issue with the instrument cluster and also since it stoped working, my trunk gets stuk while engine is on and mirrors not longer fold.. i removed the fuse while the engine was off, i ll try with it on.. i hope that it will works
Hi! I have similar issues detailed below: 1. Cluster suddenly just stuck. All of em. Rev counter, speedo, fuel gauge. Lcd suddenly off as well 2. Wipers wont worked now 3. Turn signals worked but the beep inside the car is not 4. My lights wont turned off😂 These all happening all of the sudden and I want to try your methods. Just to be clear, so your methods is turn the engine on, and while it is on, disconnect the negative only on the battery right?
I have A class 05-12, gauge cluster (and that central display) stops working for some time, then comes back on. Always when it doesent work also sound for turning signals doesent sound... Second time, gauge cluster sudenly while I was driving came back on, but all pointers were stuck at some position for some time and ESC (yellow triangle) goes on when I speed up, so when i press gas pedal it basicly doesent allow car to have high rpm and speed up in a usual way but I need to do it smoothly. I stopped the car for a bit and shut down engine removed the key, and when i started engine again gauge cluster and everything else worked fine... now it happened third time, cluster doesent work and in the back I believe it turns on again ESC because again it wont allow me to get speed so I must be "gentle" with a gas pedal to get into higher gear... That happens only when Gauge cluster doesent work, three times in last two months. When gauge cluster comes back, everything is okay... It came to my mind to check that fuse box, maybe some contact is not okay or whatever, i dont know even if I open it what exactly I need to look...I believe its some small stupid thing that doesent cost so much, but if I go to the Service they will take 1000€ in a second, and my whole car costs about that much.
I have a similar issue, with the turn signals and all small electrical things just lagging and won’t work sometimes. But I get the message “display faulty visit workshop”, I heard that it may be water in the computer, but where? Anyone know where to look for water or something? I’m going mad I can’t find shit.
@@BPROAUTO95 ok, so i removed the fuse (engine on) it didn't worked at first, the dashboard remained lit even after i removed my key (it wasn't turning on before that), but the 2nd day it was working just fine.
I have a Mercedes A170 W168 2001 disel and i have an issue with the cluster table it stops working after i drive for a while and i have to stop somewhere and disconnect the negative and reconnect it but the issue still keeps up after that. Any Permanent fix for this?
@@BPROAUTO95 thanks for the reply. I had seen a tip where pressing the car start button without your foot on the brake, and leaving it in that "standby" mode (or whatever it's called) for 10 seconds would clear it and that worked for me
The video doesn't specify regarding the battery. Do you disconnect the negative on the battery while the engine is running? Or do u do it with engine off?
Ok thought so. But wasn't sure. The manual specifically says not to disconnect the battery while engine is running.. So I tried disconnecting the battery with engine off and key out.. worked right away. Couldn't find the fuse .. I have a 2015 E320. So looks to be different. Anyways. The battery trick worked! Thanks so much for the video!
Hey question I have a full digital lcd instrument cluster for my 2018 e300 but the speedometer side (left side) isn’t powering up only the radio side (right side) anybody have a solution to fix that

Well done Benson Yu, great video that sorted our blank instrument cluster with the hard reset.

Thank you, resetting the fuse solved my problem in 4 dollars. Just had to buy the new fuse.
Nice 👍
Good info. ...and good info (comment) about having ignition on but not engine running.👍
Hey thank you for this. You solved my problem and I appreciate your video.
Thank you for commenting too😀😀
Good Demonstration that lets one know there are options ,so don't Panic and give Your Money away, Thks again. 😎
Haha that’s is so true, my friend brought it to me for a second optional haha
I’m having the same problem with my 1999 clk320, I will try your method hopefully that will work
Thank you so much. I did the battery reset and it worked perfectly for me. I wish I could give you a 100 like.
Glad that it helped 🫡🫡
Hey when you do the hard reset, does the engine need to be running
Great video, the hard reset with the key in worked for me
Nice 👍,trying to help all the ppl here
It helped turn the cluster back on ??
I also have Mercedes’ 300. I tried the fuse and the negative off n nothing yet
Thank you, that what I have problems with my CLK 320 ran out battery while I was in the hospital over a month
Thanks fam saved me 100$ from a lousy mechanic thanks tho fr you the 🐐 💪🏽😂
Fuse reset while running worked right away. C300 2013.
Glad that it helped 😬
Wow thank you I’m going to try this now
No problem, let us know how it goes
Great video and thanks!!!
No problem!
Will try it ,thanks
Do we take the negative while the car is running or no ?
When the engine it’s NOT running, only ignition on
Remove the negative cable when engine is NOT running, sorry for the confusion

What about my cluster on my 2007 Mercedes clk550? The cluster isn’t working either. It’s completely blank
My cluster not working. Cluster Fuse showing higher voltage on tester than all others. What that means?

You can remove the instrument cluster and check the connectors in the back, see if any corrosion

Hi I just wanted to make sure if this would work. Safely on 2017 gla 250? Thank you
Yes, check power fuse if good then do a battery disconnect
When I insert the key, it does not turn, and the fan turns on automatically. Mercedes w220 s500
When you disconnect the battery is the car supposed to be on or off ??
Key on

Sound a module is defective
