My car is a 2000 320CLK. I have the usual temp, gear pos and clock readouts that have gone bad. I found a used cluster out of a 2001 clk430 and hooked it up just to see if the readouts worked. They did, of course the mileage was for the other car but it also had the service engine light on. I know that I need to go to the dealer to reset the cluster to my car but is there a way to remove the center readout or "brain" on my cluster and put it in the newer one? I am wondering if the service light is on as it thinks it is a V8 and knows it is not and if the mileage is kept in the center unit? Also I hooked up a OBDII readout and it could not find a fault? I drove the car around the block and everything worked fine except the fault light. Anyone have ideas?
Thanks,
