W124-No interior lights
Hey everybody, im having a small problem with my '94 E320....Normally when you turn the switch for the headlights the interior lights come on (the gauge cluster, and switches in the car) for some reason they don't anymore. I have played around with the fuses in the fuse box and nothing but that is as far as I know to do, I wondering if anyone knows exactly what my problem is and how I can fix it?

No I tried there first as it is the most obvious solution to my problem...I think it has to do with wiring or a fuse; I have heard the there is a fuse located behind the gauge cluster that controls that sort of thing, is that true? By the way @RBYCC nice little collection you got there

There is a small red fuse located to the right of the speedo ( looking from the back ).
It looks more like a lampholder then fuse and twists into the circuit board.
The fuse part number is 2015460025
It's part number 17 on the below link:

Not sure but there were some early diesels and possibly some later V8's that may not have the fuse.

Speaking of fuses, which fuse controls the warning light for headlights in dash? Mine stays on even though it is working and the bulb is fine. My light in the shifter is out as well so what fuse would that be?

the warning light is not just for the headlights... do a walk-around, you may have a license plate bulb out or something...
