Default Instrument Cluster Failure?

The gear display and clock in my 2000 clk230k seems to have sections missing which means it is unreadable, like the pixels arent working.

Is there anything i can do to fix this problem?

I think something is loose or has a bad connection as i can give the display a whack and it will be fine for a while before going off again!

Help!

only the local electronic repair shop can do something about it.

the part cannot be bought separately.

hello. i have mercedes c220 cdi, i had the same probelm. I fixed this by stripping the clocks until you see the electrical ribbon going from the display to the curcuit board, Mine have three of these. I sprayed contact cleaner followed by compressed air along the contact. This has fixed the problem, although i had to do it three times.

hope this helps

michael
