I have a Merc B class 2010 model and the lights on the display are dim is there a way to brighten them? Thanks for any help gven.
 
Down on the right by your light switch, just to the left of it is a wheel that will adjust to brighter or dim
 
Hello merc estate the only wheel that is by the light switch is to adjust the headlamps. I have just been to the car and now the lights on the dash are back to normal. Thank you for getting back to me. Helsinki.

I have had an e class and two c class's and they have all been by the light switch, i'm glad you are up and running now, maybe someone else can give you a clue
 
Hi Helsinki (been there in 1987 - lots of fun)
merc estate meant turn this stick/nob (No.11) clockwise a few times, when the lights are on:

Hello GLK, I have tried the stick/nob but cannot turn it either right or left. The lights on the dash are now working ok don't know why they wasn't yesterday but if it happens again will take the car to my local garage. Thanks for the help. Helsinki.
 
If it doesn't turn at all, then it's probably dislodged from it's mount inside the cluster.
Can you push it in, say to re-set your current trip mileage?

If you're confident enough, I can send a few files on how to remove the Instrument Cluster ...
I've done it a few times (not repairs as such, just wanted B-class needles and to fit my carbon-dipped backplate) - not difficult at all.

Hello GLK thank you for the offer but I'm not that confident and would probably make things worse. The garage I use is very good and not expensive.I will let them have a look at it for me. Thanks again. Helsinki.
