Instrument Cluster Lights not all working

I have looked around on the forum and could not find a question/response that matches my question.

Here is my problem - the dashboard cluster lights on my 2000 S500 have started acting up. The lights on the left and right side seem to work, but the light around the spedo does not work. While driving, all the lights seem to go out and then come back, almost like they are "re-booting".

Any suggestions/reccomendations?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem until eventually the whole cluster shutdown! There is a recall on our models and years. The dealer replaced my instrument cluster at no charge of course.

Thank you

I have scheduled a visit to my local MB dealer. It seems to be the general consensus on the forum that this is a recall issue.

I agree with all the comments that supports taking it back to the dealer, for an exchange.
