1985 380 Sl clock, radio, 4 way & bow lights went out

Hi,

Anybody here have an idea where to look as all of these went out yesterday at the same time and all of the fuses are good? Clock, radio, 4 way flashers & windshield bow lights all went out at one time.

Thanks

So, nothing works that is connected to the steering wheel? Does the cruise control still work, or is that inoperable as well?

Justin,

I don't understand your comment.
The blinkers work but the 4 way do not.
Cruise works.
No clock, radio, Interior lights (feet), or the light switch (next to the antenna up/down) for the lights above on the upper windshield don't work.
All fuses are good.

The fuses not being blown can be decieving. The contacts in the fuse box are notorius for bad connections. Sometimes simply turning the fuses in their holders may help the connection. I would pay particular attention to fuse # 12.

Got it, Thanks!
That's all that it was, a little corrosion on the #12 & #1 fuse contacts.
Everything now works.
A little help is better than an old man like me in that weird position checking out that fuse box looking for problems.
Thanks Pili
