Clock

The clock adjustment will no longer adjust the time on my 02 ML500.
The clock works but the adjustment handle won't engage.
Has anyone else experienced this problem ?
If so is there a fix ?
Thanks

The only fix is to buy a used instrument cluster.

The work around fix would be is to pull the fuse for the Inst. Cluster when the clock reaches a full hour (for example 4:00) . Then return to the ML and reinsert the fuse when the time is really 4:00.

Fuse #5 in the Right Side Kick Panel Fuse Box.

Thank you!
As a side note when I reinserted fuse 5 at the appropriate time the clock set to 12:00.
I don't know if this is particular to the 2002 w163 or not but I removed fuse 5 and waited to noon and reinserted it.
