Hello,
May I please ask for advice. I have a 1993 W124 convertible which occasionally does odd things. Currently when I put the key into the ignition the dashboard comes to life and shows me all instruments. When I start the motor a kind of whirring sound seems to come from the right side of the dashboard and the temperature, oil, fuel and revs stop working. The tachometer and clock still work.
Initially I thought the noise came from the fan but switching fan off made no difference to the noise. The next time I am in the car same happens again. Before the motor is on and the noise starts all clusters working.
A member of this forum already kindly posted me a link how to remove the dashboard but I have not done that yet (slightly worried).
Any ideas what this sound could be that seems to be associated with the failure of part of the dashboard?
