It needs a complete new instrument cluster. The LCD display is not serviceable.

I have an instrument cluster from a clk55. It has the AMG logo on it.

Let me know if you're interested.

The leak in your trunk had nothing to do with the LCD failing. It happens all the time on the clusters, it's fairly common. Older instrument clusters had separately replaceable LCD displays, but not anymore.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it somewhere around 15-20K...off a CLK55.

My cousin is a tech at MB and he got it for me, but I never bothered to get it installed.

Same thing happened to me last week. It was the temperature. I took it directly to them to show the dead pixels. Good thing I did that cause the appointment wasn’t for another week and during that week the pixels came back. They still put another cluster in but it jacked my miles up 100 now I’m at 48,855.
