Twiddle the rheostat a bunch, I've had them seem completely dead for a
surprisingly long period of time before they came back.
If that doesn't help try pushing the cluster around a little, could be a bad
ground but that should make the temp rise erroniously and the fuel gauge pulse
with the clock...

Subject: [MBZ] Suddenly dead cluster lights - 1985 W123
The dash lights (including all instrument cluster gauges and ACC control
panel) on my 1985 300TD quit working when I took the car for a spin after
it had sat idle for a couple weeks. The radio lights continue to work,
however.
I fiddled with the dimmer control know but nothing changed, and the lights
did NOT come on briefly/intermittently while i was twisting the knob back
and forth. Other than the rheostat, could anything else be causing these
symptoms?
