I swapped out a combination gauge (with a dead clock) in the SWMBO 1985 300CD turbodiesel coupe Saturday at an MB Club DIY tech session. After I reinstalled the instrument cluster the temp gauge and fuel gauge now bounce around erratically and the glow plug light comes on intermittently. I am now officially in the doghouse (even though the clock works) until I fix this new problem. Any suggestions are gratefully appreciated...?
