Weird W220 dash issue

[LTD]

Thought I was seeing things........

Car is sitting on the drive. All locked up and alarmed. Something caught my eye ........ the dash was lit. Then it went off.

My daughter commented this happened before when she was sitting in the car locked with the internal sensor switched off one day at the supermarket as she wanted to stay in it. Didn't think much of it until I saw it there with my own eyes.

Does anyone have any idea ?

What year is your W220? I do know that some W220's suffered with some cluster issues.

It's a 2003

Does it stay lit up and then go out and then come back on after a while

Or does it stay lit up you lock the car and then after a while it goes out

It seems to come on of it's own volition long after the car is locked.

The dash goes out after I exit the vehicle.

Does it only happen when its really cold? Our dash + Comand plays up when the temp is low.
