Hi all

As per the title, how do i remove the instrument cluster from my 2003 SL500 ?. I need to take it out to send it away for repair and dont want to start pulling at the plastic shroud incase i need to unclip it or something ?.

Has anyone ever done this on an SL R230 ?.

Thanks

Carl

Get the $70/80 one from the $tealer.
Search the forum the part number is somewhere.

1. pull off the the bezel around the cluster (pull straight out)
2. remove the 3 screws holding the cluster down
3. pull the cluster out and remove the wire harness

ps: make sure you disconnect both batteries before

Hi omar26

Will i have to reset all the memory settings when after i disconnect the batteries ?.

Im new to SL ownership and just want to be clear before i start the work.

So the bezel isnt screwed on / clipped on ? It just pulls straight off ?.

Thanks

Also, whats the correct procedure for disconnecting them ?.

I dont want to just pull the leads and blow something.

Thanks

Ok, so forget my question about battery disconnection i should have read my manual first.

I tried to pull the bezel straight off and unless it takes a mighty force it must be clipped in or something ?. It wasnt pulling off and i had to stop incase it broke. It was bending at the bottom front where the steering column comes through to the point where it would snap if i kept going.

Any ideas ?.

Im going to buy a DVD but here in the UK i cant get one from a dealer so it will take a few days for that to arrive and i had hoped to do this ASAP.

Thanks

Carl
