    Take the car back to the dealer, since this problem seems connected to the cluster replacement. I would also call the warranty company and COMPLAIN!!! A non-Mercedes cluster is not professional.

    There is programming that must be performed on the replacment cluster. It is possible the dealer missed something. What does the dealer say?

    They do not act like the two are connected. They are now checking the SAM unit. The problem started right after I reset some of the info such as lights on constant. I think the two problems are related
