Instrument cluster

If someone could tell me if I missing something, that my instrument cluster doesn't light up when I turn on the headlights. I checked the blubs and they are all fine. I check the fuse box on adjencent to the driver side on the side of the dash board and the behind the battery under the seat. Am I missing something??

I figured out that i did not know there was another fuse box in the engine capartment. I had a blown fuse. you guys don't even know jack. I'm kind of disappointed that I found this all on my own and yet none of you guys never really get some elbow grease. That's pretty sad.

Im very happy here and feel very welcome. Ive learned a lot in the past few days and have received a lot of help. Thanks guys!

It takes two to know one, cheesedick! I never heard of another fuse box in the engine bay. Unlike Mercedes, alot of cars are usually in the dashboard or under.

As far as being new to automotive forum, I'm not new to it. Yes, I'm new to the MBworld forum but I'm familiar to it since I am a member of the Maxima Forum. I still have that car and been with them for four years now. I'm quite verse in auotmotive repairs. My point on this posting was that not even one person neither know the answer to my question or they are just mostly "mechanically challegened" On the other forum, everyone knew what they were talking about and give different perspective on "how to". Most of the posting on here I have read were rampant or giving inaccurate information, I'm not trying to insult someone or this community for the matter. I've seen worse espeically on the Mercedesshop.com forum. They were absolutely clueless. Some of the posting I have read there were a laughingstock and confusing on what the heck are they talking about.

What do you mean, your not trying to insult this community? You've done nothing but insult.

BenzVince, whether you realize it or not, it's very unusual (and rude) for someone to post a question, then lash out and insult an entire board for not knowing the answer to your question, or simply not answering.

Before I saw this post, I was actually digging out information for your previous post on instrument bulbs, but realized the information is in my computer at work. Now I have no desire to help you.

We're all volunteers on this board and help when we can. If we disappoint you because we don't know jack, then don't post here. Better yet, sell your Benz and stick with your Maxima if MBWorld and Mercedesshop are beneath you and free help from a forum is so important to you.

He waited only one day to put out his flame post... and obviously did not read the manual first.

A clue to posting, do your homework first, then the senior members will:

1. respect you
2. help you

Insulting everyone will guarantee no one will want to help you in the future.

I post on a lot of forums (google my name)... many times people do not reply, even when they know the answer. The grown up thing to do is be patient. With only 18 posts on the forum, he's not quite in the "community" yet.

I'm still a newbie myself.

Allow me to share my opinion regarding this forum/community.

This forum taught me so much about my new ride (W208) and about Mercedes Benz in general. I feel that most members here will try their best to help other fellow members. For example, last week I need help with instruction on how to install the comand and some members spent their time and effort in helping me out (thanks again Paul and those that replied to my messages).

Message to BenzVince: Please be patient with your problem. You should not disrespect members here if they are not able to help with your problem. Afterall, it is your problem and not ours and we are not your 24hrs on call tech. And if you're able to correct your own problem then you should just share your new found knowledge with us. This forum is about learning, sharing and helping. If this is not your expectation then the right course of action is to pack and move on.

Good Luck.

He didn't even post what kind of car he has (I assume it is a Mercedes, but maybe he was talking about a Maxima).

So, maybe there was no fuse block under the hood... who can say.

Not all Mercedes have fuse blocks under the hood, and you mentioned Maxima. Why are you here? I don't know what you might be trying to do. I can't second guess your actions. So maybe you need to learn about logic...

Oh well, good luck with your car. Into the ignore heap.

Is it a 220? Depending on the model of Benz, It could have fuses in a whole lot of different places.....
