Odd instrument problem
Hi guys
Today I filled up the gas tank of my 94 C280 and when I cranked it to leave the gas station, I had no speedometer, no rpm, no fuel qty, no odometer, trip counter, no temp and not even the clock was on! Only the eng temp gage was working. The radio, eng, trans, pw, pl all worked fine. I thought I blew a fuse. No sweat. But then, five miles later, it all came back on to normal, except I had to reset the clock.
I hope this isn't a preview of coming attactions, as this car has been great. I put over 50k miles on it since I bought it with 98k, and it has been a real joy to own and drive, just careful PM, and it keeps on going. 26-27 mpg too!
Any ideas on my (Intermittent) instrument problem?
Thanks!
