Fuse identification on 1997 E420

Can someone advise me how to identify the 3 fuses that control the power to the Instrument Panel ?

The owners handbook does not have a fuse map in it. Is there a publication that shows this ?

Did you check under the hood on the drivers side under the lid of the rectangular black box that's there?
At least that is where the list is on my '99 E-300.

Not sure if both cars are the same, but it's worth a look isn't it?

On mine, there are two fuses listed under "Instrument cluster,"

Numbers 4 and 7.

If this isn't correct, I'll be going out to PVE in a few days, and I'll look under the hood of the kids '97 E-420.
Let me know please.

You are quite correct. I also noted that there are only two fuses related to the Instrument cluster, #4 and #7. Someone had mentioned there were three.

Thanks for your help.
