2006 c180 coupe INSTRUMENT CLUSTER fault

Hi everyone

Got into the car yesterday - instrument cluster - DEAD!
Indicators work, but no "tick tock" sound etc.
No speedo/rev counter/temp/fuel gauge etc.
Headlights wont switch off with the key in the ignition. They turn off when taking the key out.
After about 10 mins, some lights came back on, but stayed on (indicator green lights on dash/all warning lights etc ABS,Seatbelt - stayed on permanently) etc. But no central display (time to next service etc etc).
These then stayed on when the key was taken out and the car was off!?

Any ideas? The car hadnt been used for a week or so and we had some rain? Thinking maybe something has gotten damp?

Could understand if maybe just the instrument cluster had failed, but the fact the headlights come on when starting the ignition and stay on....

STAR diagnostics

Hi television,

I have exactly the same problem. Do you have any contact details for STAR diagnostics to be carried out around Dover/Ramsgate area? Thanks
