I don't know officer, I can't see the speedometer

I lost both lights that illuminate my instrument pannel(speedo tach etc.). All the other lights work(turnsignals, warning lights, other dash lights). In the CD rom manual I have, there is noting specific about this but anything involving the instrument pannel requires a massive dash-ectomy. Some one please tell me there is easier access. This is a 1992 190.

thanks for any help

I assume you know about the dimmer knob on the cluster? Rotate it clockwise to get full illumination...that's what it sounds like to me.

I'm sure you'll be able to read the speedo & tach, when the officer shines his flashlight on them.

This happened to me before. It was a fuse. Same fuse went to my brake lights, but I have a 300SE (w126) so I'd imagine your fuse arrangement is different.

I've been driving around for close to a year now with a dark instrument panel, and it is still very annoying (at night that is). It's gotta be something simple like a fuse or "separate" knob. If anyone knows or figures out the solution please let us know. =)
