W124 Help!

I'm having an issue with the gauges not working along with the lights and interior seat belts. Anyone might know the remedy. I have checked the fuses they all seem to be fine

Did you twist the fuses in their sockets?

I don't know which fuse (if any) controls the problems you are having, but they frequently "look" good when they are bad.

For that matter, it is a cheap preventative thing to do to go ahead and swap them all out anyway.

all fuses should be replaced, as most are over 10 years old.


they get stress cracks that you cant see, and will fail.







replace the voltage regulator if you have yet to - I'm sure it'll need it.
