Default C280 Instrument cluster

96 c280 - was receiving 3 warning lights after start up Break(Red) ABS(orange) Breakpads(orange). They would go away after driving a couple blocks. Then the speedometer stoped working and the lights stayed on. tried replacing the instrument cluster with another used one, same problem. Any Ideas??? Took it to a shop and they are 2 hours into it, and want additional approval for time to continue diag.

give them enough time to check the problem. leave the car for a day if necessary to get proper check.

After connecting with their computer system, they were unable to connect with ABS control module:


ASR, ABS, ETS, ESP

Contact number
06

No contact with control module
