W203 c32 Lost the whole dash and indicators

[Dazzler]

Just lost the whole dashboard.
Indicators. Hazards.
Headlights.
They just stopped working.

Still have wipers, radio, heater etc.. and car still drives OK.

Any ideas before I get it towed in?

It seems the indicators are working but you can't hear the ticking of them.
Headlights are on but you can't turn them off or onto side lights.

Hi,
I'm no expert on the W203, but have you checked the SAM module? Situated under the scuttle on the N/S behind the brake reservoir I believe. Could have got damp and that would cause all manor of issues.

My first thought too.

My 22 plate Sprinter did this once. Merc Assist came out and unplugged the instrument display main cable, plugged it back in and it worked again. Apparently you can pull the fuse out and back in for the same effect.

Might be worth checking if you have an instrument panel main fuse and try that ?
