    I think you gotta press the bottom button on the windshield wiper stalk,- it's on the right side of the steering wheel-.

    Dude that sucks, looks like you're gonna have to go to the dealership and pay $100000 at least for a new cluster......or maybe just press the button on the bottom of the wiper stalk. I'm sensing a trend

    Re: mfa screen M.I.A. WTF

    calm down no one is inferring you're an idiot. Trying to prove you know what you're talking about makes you sound... i dunno but its not positive. If you knew about the button you should have said "i already tried turning it on and off with the button" because you would know it was a possibility and one that WE would consider.

    i guarantee everyone owning a B5 has had that question when their cluster wasn't on. God knows how many customers i had with the problem when i still worked at a shop.

    since its not turned off, i have no idea what the problem is. (edit: unless of course the on/off switch lost its damn mind and broke... *shrug*)

    serious note: I think there is a single plug on the back of the cluster that gives it power, maybe take the cluster out and see if all the wires are intact.
