You should have had him buy the one I was selling, it would not have had that problem. Luther wrote: A friend of the family's 420SEL lost brakelights and the dash (speedo/temp/oil etc) is inop.

It's the fuse, unless the wire came off the fuse holder underneath.

Re: [MBZ] '90 420 SEL
Don't just *check* the fuses - they are 18 years old and *need* to be replaced (*Please*) - that 10cent part has given its service - and then some. Most likely there is a hairline crack in one of them - turning the fuse may not make the fault evident -- BTDT - only found it when spuse hit the brake as I watched the fuses - the offending fuse arced! Most likely the brake lights are not working either.

The only things that work in the dash are the clock and the economy gauge. What do I need to look at and check? Fuses. FYI, the economy gauge is a mechanical vacuum gauge. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
