Reset Dashboard Function?

Hi,

I know there was a recall for the dashboards on the W220's. My dashboard died long ago, so I bought a working one which worked in the previous vehicle (same model which was rear ended). However after installing it, the dash appears like it has no power at all. However the SRS light comes on when I turn the key to accessories, but then goes off once I start the engine. So power is getting to the dash. I am wondering if there is a reset function somewhere or should I just take it to the dealer (which is a hassle to get to for me) for the recall?

Thanks in advance.

Ray

Did you check the fuse that supplies power to the cluster?

Hi Wally,

I have looked, but I am not sure which fuse it is. Could you point me in the right direction please? My car is a right hand drive.

Cheers

Ray

Fuses are different in different model years...

Hi Wally,

Yes, I know. The fuse diagram I have is for another year, which is why I ask if you might know. I have a 1999 S430 if that helps.

Cheers

Wally thanks so much. I checked the fuse diagram again, and it showed fuses 5,7 and 10 as the cluster fuses. However I figured fuses in between those numbers may also been closely related and found fuse 6 had blown. Replacing this fuse fixed the issue.
