I've been meaning to ask about this for a while. One of my instrument panel
lights burnt out and I want to replace it, but I can't figure out how to get
to it. The car in question is a 300D 2.5Turbo, without telescoping steering
column.
Thanks,
Chase M. K.

Don't recall having to detach the speedo cable at the tranny to get
the ic out of the albatross. Is this really necessary or is there
room to get a hand up in there after removing the lower access panel?
Wagon's trip meter died a couple of weeks ago. Makes a quite audible
clicking noise when the wagon's in motion so I'm thinking it's
probably a broken gear rather than one just slipping on its shaft. Odo's
still fine. Do I remember correctly that someone's found a
source for a likely replacement gear if this is the case?
IC will come far enough out of a 124 (with the steering wheel in the fully
extended position) to get your hand behind it to disconnect the electrical
and speedo cables. There's a clip down on the steering column support that
may need to be released. I have to disconnect at the transmission on a 201.
