Gas Guage Blinks With Turn Signal
 

86 300e...when I Use The Turn Signals, Either Right Or Left, My Gas Guage Will Blink In Time To The Turn Signal (about 1/8 Inch The The Left)....also When I Apply The Brakes The Gas Guage Will Move The Left About 1/8 Inch And Stay There Til I Take My Foot Off The Brake Pedal.....and Finally The Gas Guage Will Move To The Left About 1/16 Inch When I Turn The Head Lights On.......i Thought It Might Be The Circuit Board For The Dash Pod On The Gas Guage Side, But I Found A Complete Dash Pod At 'pick And Pull' From A 87 300e.....i Changed Out The Speedo Head From My Old 86 To The 87 And Reinstalled In My 86 300e.....same Problem (my Outside Temp Guage Now Works, But That Another Story).....any Help On What Is Causing The Fuel Guage To Act Soooo Weird???????

Thanks

Problem Solved
 

After installing the 87' Dash Pod, I knew I had to look else where to find the problem...Knowing that Mercedes has some problems with grounds, I looked on 'Alldata' to find the ground for the turn signals and I also found that the same ground was for the brake lights and the rear running lights....The ground is 'W6' (left side of trunk, below the hinge, behind panel)....Pulled the plastic panel out far enough to polk the ground with a long screw driver and found the ground was loose......Removed the plastic panel on the left rear (it took longer to remove the panel than the fix the problem)...Cleaned the ground and retightened, retested for the turn signal and gas guage movement...none...Problem solved....
