1997 320SL Instrument Cluster Lights Not Working - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I just bought this 320SL and it is great but all the instrument lights are not lit. The odometer is lit (this stays lit) and the dimmer works for it. It seems to be just the cluster lights. ALL of them. All other lights in car are working normal. Any ideas which fuse I check? Since dimmer switch works for odometer, it must be working okay. Headlight switch maybe?

THanks

I had a similiar problem with my 560SL. Turned out the star connector in the back of the instrument panel was loose. Just a thought.

Thanks, something to check. If I can't find the problem, at least the dealer says they will fix them, BUT I have to drive the car 150 miles to get there!!!

All the lights bulbs were burned out! Who would have thought they could all burn out at THE SAME TIME!!!!
