Cl500 2003
CL500 instrument backlighting

My CL 500 dash lights flickered and then stopped working I have checked it with diagnostic and gauges are working but backlights stopped. Fuse ok looks to be the cluster $4500 to replace. I have removed it amd hoping to get it repaired. Does anyone ha e wiring diagram for Cl215 2003 and circuit diagram for the cluster. Any help would be appreciated. I know MB had a recall on them but as car is 2003 I guess they won’t do it now

Search for a company that can replace the transformers in the binnacle should cost about £150, or if you know someone who works in electronics industry they will be able to dismantle binnacle, unsolder components, replace with suitable component and resolder into pcb, not difficult if you have the correct equipment.

Or buy a second hand binnacle, but you will then have the problem of car not recognising the dash and having to get star to reset
