No dashboard..Now no indicators

[steve otter]

Hi, my car has developed a fault where I have no speedo/tacho/petrol gauge.....

Now I have no indicators.

This has happened shortly after changing battery (if that's a clue).

Is it a fuse?

I would welcome any help. Thanks.

It really needs a session 9n a code reader but my guess would be either a bad earth, failed Instrument cluster or bad SAM (in that order).

I do hasten to add they are only guesses!

Did you connect the battery properly and avoid some big sparks?

Was & is the battery fully charged? Low voltage causes numerous problems.

Had something quite similar months ago on my 2008 C220 S204. Local specialist with genuine full MB Star/Xentry determined very quickly that dashboard had lost its programming (and said not the first time they'd seen that) and quickly and cheaply re-programmed it via Star.
