[QUOTE=smoothbrain]I just bought an '88 300E and everything on the console except for the spedo, clock, odometer, and "economy" indicators is completely dead (i.e. temperature, oil pressure, tachometer, fuel guage).

Not sure how badly I want to go poking around behind the dash without knowing if it's possible to fix the problem, if anyone has any information on the subject I would very much appreciate it.

thanks

[I had the same problem with a '93 E200. Turned out to be a short which blew the fuse. Don't want to frighten you cos you might just need to replace a fuse, but there might be a reason for the fuse not working. Sorry.
