daughter wrecks sl 320
my daughter took my 1995 sl320 ran it into a phone pole, the car was in
perfect runing condition before the wreck, know since I have it back I found
that my instrument cluster speedometer does not work etc and abs lights are on alone with my check engine light. The body shop said they had to jump start my car I was told by the dealer that they may have burn out the instrument cluster, can anyone please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

daughter wrecks car
Try this!
THANK GOD FOR FRIENDS!!!!!!!! A friend of mine owns a Porsche Audi dealership, Told me to bring it in (they have a Tech who worked for MB) and within a half hour all was fixed. There is a module box on the right side of the cowl under a plastic cover (Three phillips screws) and the Aluminum module box cover is held on by four hex head screws. The top module in the box has two replaceable ATC fuses on it which controls the ABS,ETC sensors,speedometer,odometer,MPG gauge,and the shift module for the transmission.Works PERFECTLY.
Total cost..........4 doz donuts for the shop and 2 Cuban cigars.
If you ever have this problem CHECK THIS FIRST Didn't have to reset with a computer or anything!!! replaced it,put the covers on and I drove away. Again thank you all for your reponses

Hi Same exact problem with my car follow the link above (About Friends) you have the exact same problems I had it should be a single 10 amp plastic fuse.
One of the allen screws in the aluminum module box is a little tough to get to but you should be able to get it with a short single allen wrench DON'T FORGET TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FIRST!!!!!!! Good Luck Let us know

Yes, this happened to me too. Thank god my daughter was not hurt in the accident and did not go to the hospital. That way, I could wring her neck and beat her black and blue immediatly instead of waiting for her discharge from medical care.
She called the police, and I spent 90 days in jail. Also, she is now in foster care, and I am paying $1500 to the foster care system for her room and board each month.
She won't talk to me.
Also, her mother packed up all our household belongings and moved away to some place I can't find; she is suing me for a divorce. My attorney says it will cost me about $350,000 plus $5,000 per month for the next 10 years.
Okay, but the good news is this: Before I went to jail, I brought my car to MBZ dealer and when I got out, they had everything fixed like brand-new. And the insurance covered it all.
They even picked me up at the county jail when I got out.
So, I am very happy.
