Display Defective w/NO other errors

Hi guys, so I recently bought an '03 S600 with 56k miles and everything appears to be in great shape so far!

Since the day I bought it there has been a "Display Defective" malfunction. I've done some research here on the forum, but everyone that I've seen with this malfunction also has other issues; electronics going haywire and such. Mine doesn't appear to have any other issues other than the display defective alert.

Is there a way to reset this to see if it comes back? Or any other permanent solution?

Thanks for the support!

thats too bad, there is a 10 year warranty on the cluster, if thats what you are saying is wrong. Run to the deal rand see if they will give you one.

If its an 03 its likely outside the 10 year warranty unless it was a late delivery car

If it is a cluster problem and you are beyond the 10-year warranty, there are shops that will repair the cluster for far less than the cost of replacing it. You can do an online search, or check some sources at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...tart-here.html

Run a vin check on the car it will tell you the date it was delivered. For example mine is an 06 but was delivered in May of 07.

Thanks Skylaw, I have been referencing that link quite a bit lately!

Iganski, you're correct I am going to hurry in to the dealership in an attempt to make the cutoff of my 10 year warranty.

Thanks for all the support.
