I didn't know the cluster is unfused untill looking at this diagram. Jake2tech smoked the wiring on his W124 by not taking the above precautions.
I guess Mercedes designed it unfused because they feel loosing all gauges due to a bad fuse is not a good thing. I think they could have done better with a self resetting circuit breaker.

You are obsessed with this idea. Even if it was right, which it isn't, I don't see the relevance. The panel is fused, with the sole exception of the charge indicator. The only thing that would work if a fuse blows is the charge indication circuit.
