guages quit 190e
 
today my TEMP guage, FUEL guage and my OIL Pressure guages quit working.

I checked all the fuses and all seem to be intact,

anyone have any idea what to check next?

:confused:

When you actually take the fuse out you will find it has cracked and is bad, even though it looked fine.

Replace all of them, the rest are in the same condtion after 15+ years.

Happened to me a couple weeks ago, quite a scare looking down and seeing NO oil pressure! I'd pulled over and checked the oil and run the engine looking at the valve train to check for oil delivery before I remembered the W124 has an electric guage....

Note that on the W124 you will also have no brake lights! May or may not be true of the W201 chassis, but something to check.....

The only way to test the torpedo fuses is with an ohm meter. Visually inspecting them is risky.
