Instrument Cluster Pinouts and Needle Calibration

Hi...

Can any one tell me the pinouts of each of the two plugs on the back of the instrument cluster? I would like to power up the instrument cluster on my work bench (not in the car) by applying +12V to the instrument cluster.

Also, can anyone tell me how to run a calibration of the instrument needles? I've replaced my guage faces by popping out the needles and I would need to recalibrate them.

Thanks in advance.

FYI, I was reading a TSB on customer complaints about inaccurate fuel gauges in the W210. It alerted the MB mechanics that most problems are due to a faulty fuel sensor not anything in the cluster.

my gauge when car is off is past the O mark, then when turned on with a full tank goes to a little over 1/2 tank, when turned off I believe it should rest just below the zero mark, thats whyi'm thinking calibration. other than that it seems to be funtioning properly, I'm really wondering if it the fuel sender unit
