These can usually be (carefully - there's a spring in there that likes to jump out!) disassembled and cleaned (something mildly acid, like vinegar or cola and a gentle toothbrushing followed by a THOROUGH rinse and dry). As a quick test, short past the terminals of the dimmer and see if you have dash lights. If you don't, then the problem is elswhere. If the dimmer is the problem, and you succesfully clean it, then you may be inspired to try the following: http://p090.ezboard.com/fmbenthusiastsclubphilippines19848frm11.showMessage?topi cID=84.topic Cheers, Conrad the reserve fuel light and all other warning lights for that matter operate independently of the dash lighting. If its an older Benz, suspect the rheostat if the bulbs are good and the fuse. | the Dash Cluster wont light...this is wierd because my refuel arrow | will light but where the RPMs and the Speedometer wont light...how do | i go about fixing this??? ive tried the dimming knob to see if they | were just dim but they arent lighting up so... |
