Mercedes cars with cartridge fuses (tubular with contact at each end) all suffer with bad connections because of corrosion;take all the fuses out one by one and clean the contacts on the fuse and holder , also pull the relays in the engine compartment ,clean the pins and refit . In many cases this is all that is required to solve electrical problems on these cars.
Good luck, Geo

Clean the ground points behind the instrument cluster first.
Look in the following thread for direction of how to remove the instrument cluster.
