It turned out that it was the rheostat, but not that it had a bad spot, =
just that when I reset the trip after getting gas I must have turned it =
too. I never knew that the trip reset button dimmed the lights when you =
turned it. I just figured on old cars there was only one light strength.

check the rheostat for the instrument lights.  My lights also fail in =
this way from time to time.  I just rotate the switch from the bad spot =
on the rheostat.

I lost my instrument cluster lights today, including the one that=20
lights =3D
up the ext. temp. According to the mbcoupes archives there are 4 bulbs=20

involved, and I doubt all 4 would g o out at once, so what else should I =

=3D
look for? The fuse (number 1) looked good and everything else running =

off of it works.

While I'm asking a question, what's the proper orientation for the=20
wires =3D
running from the red thing on the a/c evaporator to the aux. fan?
Thanks,
