Electrical Gremlins

Ok ive had my w124 260 For 6 Months Now and I Absoultely Love it to death However ive been having Troubles with the electrics on it

1. The Dashboard lights have just died i dont do much night driving and i dont know when it stop working until one night it just didnt turn on

2. Front Interior Light works when it wants to with the switch when opening the car the light works fine but when using the switch it works when it wants to i have wasted so much time just trying to get the lights to work.

3. Centre Console Lights work when they want to, as well as lights for Sunroof switch and back window switches, i just keep turning them on and off till the decide to switch on i have spent over 10 mins once just turning them on and off to get them to work, also when this happens the Alert noise for the Headlights doesnt engage when i turn the car off also the Aircon and Cycle air buttons dont engage when this happens as well.

Apart from this, the car is perfect Help pleaseeee

Get new clean fuses and make sure your dash light rheostat is functioning.
