Probably the service interval board inside the instrument cluster. Wouldn't it have been better to start with what wasn't working rather than make an incorrect assumption?

The service interval board is a circuit inside the instrument cluster, here is the part number that Realoem.com shows for that car 62110152533 Autobahn dismantling has a used one I'm sure, call John at (619)444-2290 and he can ship one to you. Go to the site for Realoem.com and put in that part number to see where it goes.
