3) KOMBI/ Instrument Cluster sometimes turns OFF (goes blank) except for Tach?
4) When Cluster goes blank it is always when engine is either (a) OFF; or (b) at idle RPM?
5) Cluster NEVER goes blank when driving at > 2,000 RPM?
6) If, while vehicle stationary/ in Park, you increase RPM to 2,000 RPM, does cluster "turn on"/ function properly?
If answers to the KOMBI questions 3 - 6 are YES, then you likely have a corroded Bus Connector, or a Loose Socket, Damaged Pin, or wiring damage in/at one of the K-CAN Bus Connectors: (a) at the rear of the KOMBI, or (b) where KOMBI connects to JBE.
I attach ISTA ScreenPrints of KOMBI Wiring & Connector View for those two connectors to NEXT Post.
Easiest Steps FIRST:
1) Remove Fuse F58 (5A), test electrically (0 Ohms resistance between fuse spades), and inspect fuse spades & Sockets for corrosion. If that restores KOMBI function with Ignition ON (Engine OFF), then you're DONE. If NOT so lucky, continue below.
2) Remove Cluster per Procedure attached to NEXT Post;
3) Test for Battery Voltage at X11175/9 Red wire;
4) Test for continuity to Chassis Ground at X11175/18 Brown/Black wire, with IGNITION ON.
5) Visual Inspection of the Wiring, Sockets & Pins at KOMBI connector X11175/6, Orange/Green Bus wire, & [...]

The what is the lights.
It’s the brake light, DTC light, ABS Light, and the traction control light. They all come on yellow.
They flash on, and then the cluster dies immediately for a second. I thought the rpm was staying on, but it’s also turning off. Everything blacks out for a second.
This happens with the key in, ignition on.
It will happen before I start the engine.
It also happens after I start it.
As soon as you start moving it stops. It never happens when driving.
You can rev the car up over 2k and it just runs as normal. I haven’t been able to find a trigger for the lights.
The light errors will keep happening on an interval, and the cluster dies the same way every time.
Weirdly, if I disconnect the battery or reset the codes, the lights don’t come on for a bit, but they always come back eventually.
The car drives like it should otherwise.
