Lights in cluster problem, Help !

Hello

I justpersonally replaced the battery on a 95 s320 that i am selling. After i hooked the new battery up, THE ABS, ETC warning lights are on now. Also, i speedometer stopped working, and the lights in the cluster are off. All this were not on until i replaced the dead battery with a new one.

Does anyone know how to reset the ABS, ETC lights, and have the speedometer and cluster lights function properly again ??? Help..!

fixed ....Solved !!

After doing several searched through mercedes forums i managed to fix it.

I got a little worried, when i read some posts mentioning that i might have fried my odometer speedometer assembly, or i need a new computer unit.and that the only way to solve it even if its caliberation was to take it to the dealer.like some of the posters did...and that i had to pay the dealer lots $$$$ to fix or at least diagnose the issue...

Someone mentioned to look under the hood in a rectangler box (that says "battery in the back")near the passenger side windshield. I thought i checked all areas where fuses existed (In the trunk and under the hood). Turns out...that big rectangler box has 2 (10) unit fuses among some other items. One of the fuses was bad. When i replaced it ...

...it Fixed the ABS and ETS light, along with the odometer and speedometer issue....woooooooooooof
