C55 Instrument Cluster Acting up
Hi everyone, first thread here....
I replaced my battery a couple months ago, as soon as I connected the terminals and turned the car back on, the instrument cluster went hay wire, car turns on and stays on, the AC, radio, seat, lock functions, EVERYTHING works except the cluster initially turns on but then it intermittently shuts on and off, gauges drop, headlights flicker off/on, warning beeps go off and then everything comes back on...it even does while I drive the car...
Checked all fuses and relays, all good. Checked with the iCarsoft MBII for codes and mostly says CAN communication fail with IC (instrument cluster) and OCP (overhead control panel) but everything up there works as well.
Will post a video for reference.... but before I go and start swapping out control modules, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced that and if so, what did you do to fix it?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long description!

It sounds like you ate something important. We've had screwy stuff like that happen when a tech hooks a battery up backwards or grounds a positive cable when the key is on.
