Actually the glove box bulbs don't fit the fuseholders - at least not on an 85 W123
But I have made some progress. What I did, is remove the cluster and unplug the multi-pin plug on the rear.
Checked #1 fuse holder with meter, and it seemed short had gone. Put in a fuse and front/rear running lights, warning buzzer, shift bulb all worked.
Checked cluster lighting circuit on bench for a short, but it seemed fine.
