The tach , gas & oil pressure gauges , & speedo went out this morning. The clock , & the vacuum & temperature gauges still work. Any ideas on where to start looking for a problem ? Thank you.

Thanks for the reply Steve. Does an internal cluster ground entail the removal of the full panel that holds the gauge cluster for repair ?

Thanks for the reply Petra.Where is the fuse located ? The owners manual was of no help in that regard. I also checked the fuse box under the hood ( no blown fuses )& the fuse chart on the fuse box lid.

Does your car have a fuse for the instrument cluster? I think that the 1995 C280 that Petra has is electronic, with electrical wires controlling them. Thus a blown fuse cutting out the electronics of the cluster. Yours seems like it would be cable-driven, though I could very well be wrong. Just a thought. But I'd still definitly check for a fuse because not only the speedo is out, but other gauges too.

Thanks for the reply David. I went back & checked for an auxiliary fuse box. I double checked the main box again & found fuse number 6 blown. It wasn't that noticeable earlier. It is now. I replaced it & all is now fine.
