After you have verified that the wiring at the back of the gauge cluster is intact and not loose you may have an issue with a solder joint in the cluster's circuit board. This was common with old Mercedes. If you hit the cluster does it start to work? Alex

this just started occurring on a road trip while driving from CA to TX so i haven't opened it up. I first checked fuses and relay switches while stopped for gas and got it to work again. It worked briefly but again stopped after stopping for gas. Thanks for the tip I'll check it out in the morning.
