I have thought of buying a cluster on ebay just to determine if it is the cluster. Thoughts anyone? I am at the point of complete frustration!

You had water damage...but you never told us where this damage occurred. The. E53 has 3 different cluster's & 2 different communication bus systems...help us help you better by giving us your model/model year/build date (you haven't created a signature) because it can help fill in the blanks when details may be missing.

Your cluster is having issues & you also mention light issues. All external lighting is controlled by the LCM. So was the water damage to the area where the LCM is located or was the damage near the cluster...or was the damage near a major fuse/relay location or other control modules?
