Lost All Dash Lights Last Night
Greetings! Last week when I drove my 97 s500 it seemed that half the dash lights were not working at night. Took it out yesterday and now nothing is illuminated in the cluster. Any ideas on where to start, thanks in advance.

Are you talking the illumination lights or warning lights? What about the gauges are they working? Check power supply to cluster and alternator signal

****Fixed Dash Lights
I had a hard time believing that all the bulbs would be dead at the same time. I had all the bottom lights working and blinker lights working. I pulled the cluster and ended up breaking the side of the glass off OUCH! But when the cluster was out all 4 or 5 bulbs that illuminate the gauges were burnt. Now I'm looking for a cluster lens. I called Mercedes and they only sell a cluster.

Yep. If you don't pull carefully you will break the lens. That's a DIY job. Destroy it yourself! Years back you used to be able to buy just the lens part. Or try second hand
