I have a 2006 m45. All the gauges in the cluster light up but don't work. The electronic prndl lock won't disengage unless I use the manual press button. The climate control and blowers stopped working too. I do have radio. What fuse blew and where is it located?

I found the fuse. Thanks. Now my ac doesn't blow cold air. Pressure seems to be good but clutch never engages to compressor even on max air. No known blown fuses. Or error codes. Any ideas or things to check?

Because you have auto temp control you need to have it scanned there are a bunch of things that can cause it to not work you can start by checking these fuses in pic otherwise have apro look at it.

You can get a fuse to fix the problem at any auto parts store. Here are some guides and fuse panel diagrams (Below) so you can get the problem fixed and back on the road.

Did you check fuses #6 14 and 21? All of these fuses run the instrument cluster.

Here is a wiring diagram so you can check for power and ground. If the cluster has power and ground then it sounds like the cluster needs to be rebuilt.

Not sure what you are saying? The cluster or the ground and power supply?
