1983 300SD No guages no tach no turn signals ?
I just purchased a 1983 300SD . The guages ant tach worked when I test drove it and works on the drive home . I had to remove the loaner battery when I got it home . I later installed a new battery and sarted it the car but but no guages, no tach, no turn signals. I is allmost like changine the battery made this happen ? All of the other electrical stuff works ( windows , heater fan, headlights ). All fuses are OK . Before I go through the wiring diagram , I wanted to know where to look first if this is a somewhat common problem . - Thanks

 And, I'll take another bet that it's fuse #12.

I rechecked the fuses and fuse connections . The fuses are good and the connections are clean ( copper fuses too ) . Where do I find and online wiring diagram . (nothing at Skinnerbox or Braingears ) ? - Thanks

About the problem - I went through the fuses again and found a hairline break at the very end #12 that I had overlooked . A new fuse did the trick . Also the PO had put a 25 amp fuse in there . I went back with an 8 amp per spec and will see what happens .
Brian - I generally use Firefox so I guess that's why those linkes did not work . Thanks guys

A 25 amp fuse? Luckily a fire did not start because of that. That is crazy.
Glad to hear it is repaired. Sometimes those fuses look OK, even when they are not.
