Help!! No speedo, Ac, Shifter or license plate lights!
Hey guys as thread states, everything was working perfectly, one night I was driving home and out of no where my speedo lights, AC lights, Shifter lights and even license plate lights do not come on when the headlights are on I've checked all fuses under dash and trunk that I thought had to do with lighting and they all looked fine, ( if you can think of any to check or double check please let me know)
I've also noticed that if I leave my lights on and open the door to get out there's no longer a beeping sound telling me I have left them on.
I would have suspected the bulbs went out on the speedo but I find it strange that all of this happened together at the same time.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey guys trying to figure out where the fuse is that controls the interior lights I checked all the fuses in the fuse box under the hood but everything appeared to be fine, I was driving the other night when all of a sudden I had no speedo lights no AC lights no shifter lights and no license plate lights. Pretty annoying driving without them does anyone know if there is a fuse box in the dash or where to start looking? thanks!

I did, none of them looked bad, about to just replace them all with new ones just to make sure at this point...
Thanks! thread has been made
I don't have an idea apart from the usual checks, but suggest you post the question in the electronics section: https://mbworld.org/forums/audio-electronics-38/

Check your engine to frame ground. Its hooked from the back of your power steering pump. Chances are you didnt hook it up after you swapped motors

I had a lot of electrical issues before i figured this was the problem with my c280.
They were on and off too so it could still be it. At one point my radiator fan(its electric on a 2000 model) went out and the cars temperature went up
