Clock started to fade. Too costly to repair. I brought a stationary clock and stuck it to the glass.

EnthusiastThe digital readouts have failed on the left and right hand side of the dash. Just bought the handles to pull the dash and will be sending in for repair soon. It is a pain in the a** since you cant see what gear you are in.

RookieHello,
I have the same problem. I had the instrument panel replaced a couple of years ago along with having to pay for a new key related to Mercedes resetting the mileage and labor. The display is fading on the mileage, clock, and etc. Horizontal lights flash across the middle of the screen at times.I am a girl who needs help with this problem.

Same symptoms as described here. instead of replacing the cluster, I had it repaired through ebay. This is a cheaper alternative.
