87 300SDL,
I think I accidently double posted this question, sorry for the redundancy.

It is still unresolved at this time, new fuses, everything else works except illumination for guages and console (rheostat is good)

Lamps are good and visually the only problem appears to be a butchered white 2 terminal plug on the upper left of cluster (from rear view of cluster)

I tried for hours to figure this out, I can live without a lot of things but oil psi and temp didnt make that list. I would love to find a schematic or a pin map to varify nobody botched up the wires within the round plug. Any suggestions for a makeshift ground, I'll try anything. The nearest MB dealer is Denver CO or I would bring it in just out of frustration.

TIA for any help.
