I did mine today and it worked...I took the cluster out using the corner vent method...I had 7 burned out bulbs plus the temp needle vibrated..all working now Thanks again!!

You da fking legend! I had this problem since few years ago. Changed the cluster twice and still same problem, sent to various repair shop, still same problem. Until just now i followed your steps and all my meter goes back working!!!!!!! Thank you so much

how do you know where to add the 10ohm resistor? do you add it to which ever needle is vibrating? If you could one have a situation where the may need to add more than one resistor? Or does one only need to add the resistor on the fuel gauge needle’s end?

You are "THE MAN" problem resolved W210, 97 Thanks Again.

Did this today on my 1997 C230. Pretty much he same as the cluster in your video. I t was a challenge getting it out of there. Also a challenge to get the cables of and on. Also a challenge to get the printed covers for the CEL and stuff to stay in place upon reassembly. But, as of now it works! Thank you so much for posting this. I've saved this car from the junkyard twice now this year and my wife is happy.

There's an easier way to remove the cluster. You remove the tweeter and air vent on the driver side (all you need is a screw driver) and you can stick your hand in the hole and push the cluster out.

Thank you very much for this. I had a situation like that and didn't solve it. I tried and change some things but no result. Next time I will test this but as I see it, it will work great. Thanks again.

Hi

THANK YOU.. IT WORKS ON my E320 96 cluster

Was so helpful ,thanks alot.

Worked fine -- and I took out the SRS lamp !

I love you and you are my hero, thanks for showing this repair

Thank you for the video. I am glad I stumbled upon it. My '2000 C280 speedometer doesn't work but mph or so it will "pop" and work. It does measure. I also noticed when warmer weather speedometer issue occurs less often. Curious what you think could be the issue...sensor vs motor?

Thanks, this definitely helps. 👍👍👍

I have a w163, my gauge cluster's needles all stick for about 5 seconds before going to the right position on startup, do you know what resistor would control this on these boards?

Update 1-7-2021... The fuel gauge worked for 3 years with this fix then quit again. I ended up replacing the Stepper Motors. Which I found on eBay for under $20 each. If you replace the stepper motors remember to leave the Resistor out of the circuit when installing new stepper motors. I hope that Helps you Guys and Thanks for watching. Cheers, B

Hi there,nice video by the way and really helpful. I got a question though. In mu case,its the rpm needle that kinda vibrates up and down slightly and not the fuel needle. Does every cluster (rpm,speed,fuel) has their own stepper motor?

Check the grounds, I'm not sure mine never came on and off again and work perfect. So I don't know what the problem could be but a bad ground / earth or positive 12v to the gauge.

I ended up replacing mine (110K miles) with one I bought from ebay (70K miles), mine was totally fried. The new one works great but how do you get it to show the proper millage? Isn't the millage stored in the computer? Mine now shows the new cluster (70K) not the proper miles 110k)/

From what I understand your mileage is stored on the original gauge cluster and not the car computer. There are places that can repair the original if you still have it. I ended up replacing two stepper motors so far after this fix because they ended up wearing out. Hope this helps.

Has this method held up over time?
