help me fix my bosses car
my boss has an s500 1999 model i assume.
Problem, her gauge cluster stops working, and brakes lights donot come on.
what i have found out so far is that on her fuse block under the hood she is blowing number 10 wich is a 15 amp fuse.
number 10 controls : gauge and brake lights.
apparently when she hits the brakes the fuse blows.
soo obviously replacing the fuses isnt getting us anywhere, its the weekend and the earliest she can get into the shop is on monday,
ive checked the bulbs and they all seem to be working,
ironically this is an off an on problem, like a month ago this happend and we swapped the fuse and its been fine up until now and its doing the same thing,
any ideas would be great.

well, since its 1999, i guess there arent any fiber optic connections that can mess up from circuit shorts and stuff. But i would wait for the dealer to inspect it just to be safe.
