Default Instrument Cluster Issue

My instrument cluster of my Prefacelift Audi s8(1998) has died I didn't found in my country for an S8 instead I find for A8 . It worked but only the temp gauge is going up till 110 -120 Celsius and the electric fan is always ON after 110 . I didn't have this issue before ,even when the instrument was dead .Can I manage to fix this problem or is it from the instrument cluster itself?

The gauge should have no influence on the engine or fan operation.
I would replace the Coolant Temp Sensor (cheap item, easy fix and common fault) and go from there.

The 3rd speed of the fan is controlled by the instrument cluster. It it shows high the fan will run high speed.

Everything is working on the instrument cluster except for the door(s) open indicator on the dash and the interior lights are not on when the door is open . when I lock or unlock the lights work On /Off , but when I open a door (passenger or Rear Doors) the lights don't come ON and no indicator on the Dash . Did someone have a similar issue?
