Display Defective message - 2003 e320

Has anyone come across this issue? There are no turn signals, no reverse lights, no gas gauge. Everything else works.

Could this be a fuse problem?

Please advise.

Thanks!

Could be the rear SAM control module, I would have the dealer check it out.

Inspecting the rear Sam certainly will and in the process, your problem(s) may be solved: 211.065 (e320) VIN range A014562 – A159997. If your vehicle isn’t within this range have your dealer check VMI. FYI: Recall & Service Campaigns do not expire.
