    Have I killed my instrument cluster?

    Took the cluster out to see if I could fix the DIS screen. I've put it back in and it's completely dead, no lights when I turn the ignition and the car only starts for a second before cutting out. I've tried pulling the connectors back out and reseating them, they seem to be secured...

    Tried removing the radio this morning and ran into some problems, namely the botom left clip seems to be broken as I can't get the removal tool to lock in place. Can you remove the climate control to get at it from underneath and if so how? It's a facelifted avant btw. Cheers Ceri
