2003 S55 Instrument Cluster lights out

My instrument cluster went dead a few days ago. I am guessing its the transformers. Is there anyway to confirm that its the transformers and not just a blown relay? Does anybody know of a good repair service? I found a few on eBay but they would not reply to my messages so a bit sketchy using hem.

I just had mine fixed by James at www.mbcluster.com Can't find any words on how pleased I am with him. Great guy and superb service!! Respond time is excellent as well. Drop him an email and tell him that Sonny recommended you. Just drop him an email at infoatmbcluster.com he has also a chanel on you tube where he shows all the steps involved on what he does. Good luck.

Cant drive it because of safety reasons or it wont drive at all? I just need to drive it to an indy shop so he can fix my A/C so while its in shop I was going to ship it out.

So I sent my IC out, and they send some resistors were bad and they replaced them. When I got it back it still wont light up. Checked all the fuses and they were all good. Any other ideas what can be wrong?
