W208 Dash Problem. - At warm up, the entire dash turns on and off
I have a 2000 CLK 430 Cabrio. At start up and until my car is warmed up (about 15 min or so) my entire dash: computer, instrument cluster, dash light, radio light and climate control dash light keeps on turning on and off. The problem will eventually slow down or stop after it gets going
Any solutions?
Thank you.
Checked the Tech forum but nada...

Used to be a CLK430
I'm no expert, but it sounds like your battery is going out. It seems that the battery can't do it's job until the alternator starts generating power for the aux items. Does the car struggle to start? Once again, I'm no expert, but that is what it sounds like.
Good luck!
