Unhappy H-E-L-P!!! '94 E320 wagon Instrument cluster gone dead :(

At night when I turn on my lights my instrument cluster light DOES NOT come on, but get the kicker, my "oil" light does... It's crazy b/c I just changed my oil 3 weeks ago, checked the levels 2days ago(they're good) but the light stays on so I'm convinced its a messed up sensor.

Buuuut back to the cluster... no lights at all... checked the fuse box and I don't clearly see one for the cluster (or I'm illiterate)... Is there a fuse for the cluster or is it a separate light?? Can I do this myself or do I have to go to my mechanic?
SN: My car has turned into the devil and I am starting to hate her... might sell her to anyone on here in the near future.


H-E-L-P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your "oil" light does not have anything to do with your cluster lighting. Have you checked the dimmer? sometimes that thing goes bad.

Yes, the dimmer function can go out. Search "rheostat"

Nope your good keep us posted!

If you just changed the oil and a sensor comes on you can just unhook the battery for a minute then reatach which should reset the sensor...
