Angry Instrument Cluster

First time user Need help with a Instrument Cluster problem.

Cluster

Are they competant?, where does MB send theirs to be repaired?you dont identify the fault. The factory really does not share a lot of info, so a shop needs to have experience with MB clusters.

Thanks for your time. Auto & Truck Ele was recommened by MB form group so I can't answer if they are on the up and up.
I sent it back. They said they are working on it.
I guess my point is can there be sometning else causing my problem of the Cluster blinking and the only guage that works is the TEMP.
Thanks,Jeff

Thanks,
I am just about to to give up on Auto & Truck Electronics in West Palm Beach, Fla. as they their Tech dept was upset I send the cluster back( even thought they claim a 18 mo warranty) after reinstalling and it failed in one day.-The sales dept gave me authority do do so-they claim 48 hour turnaround put it has been 8 days and I still have not gotten it back and Michelle acts put out every time I call and ask when it is going to be complete. I personally would question their credibly.
