The dimmer is not all you can do to increase the visibility. Taking apart the whole cluster and cleaning/polishing any reflective surfaces. Ken the Mercedes Source guy has a video. https://mercedessource.com/problems/lights/dim-123-instrument-lights Lawrence

I lawyered for 25 years. I think that sending Bubba out with two Dobermans and three German Shepherds works best.

[diesel_mercedes] RE: Stopped Again
It may be strange but it is solvable. Somewhere in our archives, Nate from Cal has posted a "start at A" diagnosis thread. Also, Kent from Mercedes Source has 4 or 5 videos on how to trace down gremlins like this. Chances are it is either air or fuel related.

[diesel_mercedes] Stopped Again
This is the third time I have been towed because the vehicle stops running. Some facts are:
1. Vehicle has 1/4 tank or less.
2. Temp is 25 degrees outside.
3. Diesel Kleen (white bottle) added
4. When operating the hand pumpfule comes out of the hand pump but none out of the bleeder screw on the fuel filter canister.
In the past I looked and the fuel lines were open to the fuel filter.
Any help is so appreciated. This is really strange.
Mike

Re: [diesel_mercedes] RE: help?
well the sheriff can execute against their vehicles if they are paid for. At least in Michigan you can probably get 3X the damages if you win for this type of property destruction.
By the way this shouldn't be under the help email sorry I did that,

anyone got any good leads?

as follows:
Attention diesel people (you know who you are!), Selling my 84 190d, has
a 5 cylinder 2.5 engine transplant & 5 speed tranny, 15" wheels, newer
headlights, ok tires, good brakes, new ignition key tumbler, ball
joints, new glo plugs, shocks r good, no wrecks -clean title - a well
maintained, 35mpg car, OK interior. About 290K miles on car, 210K on
engine..upgrades/engine/transmission replacement done for
driveability!!! ..the power windows work, sunroof works, heat works but
ac needs to be connected, but it was working before the 5 cylinder
engine was installed - so it is easily fixable- it runs great, would
drive it anywhere as it sits, goes 70mph + up the grade on the 14 fwy.
Cosmetically car is OK+, has a little clearcoat peel, yellow paint,
little dings, etc..interior is mb tex, and is complete, but old. the car
drives straight and smoke is minimal (normal- no blowby). Keeps up with
modern traffic, won't win drag races, but way better than the 4 cylinder
190d, and the 5 speed is really what the Germans had in mind when they
made this car. XLNT commuter transportation, I am 2nd owner (I think),
have put about 140K on this car commuting back n forth from palmdale to
LA for work. Selling because I just bought a Golf TDI and I also have an
87 190d 2.5 turbo so I have too many cars right now. if interested just
call to get the whole story on the car - its a good car, not perfect,
but I have kept this car in pretty good shape for the last 3 years I've
owned it. Not too many of these cars out there, and most are automatic,
and 2.2 engine - this one rides great - so call mike ..car is currently
with my mechanic in Fontana, near intersection of 15 and 10 fwys - will
show by appt...calling is better than emailing!! phone number is

Re: [diesel_mercedes] RE: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING
My dimmer control has a wire soldered across the two ends of the element to effectively make it a "zero" resistance element in the circuit. It's been that way for 7 or 8 years. There is a picture of it in the photos I uploaded.
Good research project.

May sound dumb but did you evaluate the Dimmer switch. I assume you have one as all my cars do.
