Hi,
I have an 88 260E. Engine coolant temperature, engine oil pressure and
RPM meters died yesterday. Also a little buzz comes up any time I turn
the key to driving position. Every fuse in the fuse box looks just
fine (unless there are hidden that I know of).
I'm afraid stop-and-go driving might oveheat the engine since the
temperature sensor fails, the auxilary fan won't start.
Has anyone had the same prolem? Thanks for reading my post.

Check your fuses with a test light. No matter how good they look, the one for the gauges is BAD!

Thank you so much. I found it. What a dummy I am! :)

     My 260E cranks hard wbut won't start. I have replaced distrbutor,
wiring, and plugs.  What do you think? Have you had this problem with yours?

Check the instrument voltage stabiliser. It is usually located somewhere on
the instrument cluster circuit board.
