Well after being at it again for a few minutes, I discovered that all of these things tie in together on the #2 fuse on the fusebox. The fuse looks okay, but I'm going to see if replacing it with another one might do anything. I'm desperate! If that fails then I will pull out the wires from that fuse, see if they are loose or anything, then re connect them. If that fails I'll try the same with the grounds behind the cluster.

Oh and I am now able to turn the clock on and off with the dome light switch while the ignition is off!!!

I love German wiring
