As Herr Doktor Booth might say, replace ALL fuses if you're NOT CERTAIN how

It's a good, inexpensive way to start
I was wondering if anyone has had this problem. Every now and again the fuel
gage, temp gage, turn signals and brake lights won't operate. Everything
else, electrically works fine. The engine starts and runs. These items are
the only things that stop working. Emergency flashers work and the turn
Rotate and clean fuses

NO - replace any fuse older than 10 years old - if you don't know how
old they are - REPLACE them.

Make replacing bushings easy: heat them in a can of water, not boiling,
and they will 'drop' right in

Here is a link to a site with pics for a shifter bushing replacement for a
300SD. Yours should be similar it calls for the same bushing for a 1980 300D

You will need this bushing most likely 2 of them.
Attached is a pdf of the relevant page in the epc. Callouts 11 101
are for the same p/n, 115 992 03 10, and are I believe the more
commonly replaced bushings. Callouts 14 17 are also identical
bushings, 115 267 12 50, are presumably the bushings Dan was
referring to that require partial
