What in the World is happening
I have a 95' S-420. After starting, all of the tattle tail lights (warning lights) blink like a Christmas tree, and none of the needle gauges work! Sometimes the lights go out, and the gauges return to normal for a couple of seconds, then start back blinking again! Can someone please tell me what in the World is going on? Thanks

Not a couch potato!
If I knew which system I was having a problem with, I would definitely search for the wiring diagram. I was doing my research by asking these simple questions I have asked, and though I don’t mind paying someone to fix the problem I don’t want to get taken for a ride if you know what I mean. But thanks for Your help anyway!

The pre-96 W140 have issues with biodegradable upper and lower wiring harness, unsure how long you've had the car but this is a source of a multitude of issues. However, I agree with old sinner check battery voltage first since you already checked fuses. Electrical gremlins are not always easy to diagnose but start small fuse, battery, wiring, and validate voltage. Good luck
