2006 S55 AMG. Replaced shredded accessory belt then No dash lights or supercharger
2006 Mercedes s55 amg after replacing the accessorie belt the dash lights went out as well as the steringnwheeel buttons and there is no power from the supercharger. I’ve checked fuses and relays battery power and alternator current. Has a SAM module gone bad or is it the dash cluster that needs to be repaired?

Make sure you've got good battery voltage. If the battery ran down significantly while the alternator was not being driven, it may need a good charging. Low voltage makes these cars weird. I could see some logic somewhere disabling the supercharger clutch for low volts on the circuit.

Didn't actually drive anywhere with no belt luckily the belt s
Shredded in the driveway while it was warming up. I heard a slapping sound and I knew exactly what was going on and shut it down. I went to get replacement belt in a different vehicle and put the new one on and started her up and only the outer ring of the speedometer was lit up. Drove about 30 miles running errands and each stop was the same as far as the dash light coming on. About 5 hours later took car out again and this time all the dash lights were on but when idling at a stop light the ldash lghts would flicker and then stabilize. Had about 10 rounds of this until theyou all flickered and the whole dash went dark. The steering wheel buttons went dark also but the volume buttons and shif that buttons still worked. As of today the shift buttons are the only thing still working on the steering wheel I checked voltage at home and at Auto Zone and both tests showed 13.4 today was interesting with some systems coming back on line and others going offline like the AC was not affected so I thought but today the AC would not turn on but did after 13 engine starts throughout the day the command module wouldash go back and forth between working and being unavailable. Weird thing is that if I turned it up to loud it would shut off which leads me to a low voltage issue but it tested good so I'm completely confused as to what is going on. When setting the alarm for the first half of the day the marker lights would only flash when disarming the system. The supercharger might give 2 seconds of full boost but then nothing. So what do you make of all that lol.

Wonder if any wiring around the front of the engine got whacked...
You said "it tested good..." You mean the battery? What kind of test? Did you get a load test done?

There really isn’t any wiring around the belts and yes I did a load test and had service center do one as well to compare results and we both came up with the same result of 12.4v at 425amps for 10 seconds. Today I removed the dash cluster and tested the Mosfett transistors and the step up transformers and they all tested fine. Is there a reset procedure after changing a battery because I did install a new battery 6 weeks ago but there were no issues with anything often the change. Does one of the Sams have anything to do with instrument. Cluster?
