The instrument cluster on our 1994 S600 has stopped working. We have checked the fuses, which are fine. The temp guage is the only one that registers. The odometer, tach, oil press, MPG, and clock don't work. All the light signals work in the dash. The car was in storage with the battery disconnected, might this have something to do with the alarm system? If anyone has an idea on how to fix this please let me know.

Thanks

I have checked all the fuses under the hood and in the truck, they are all fine. Is there fuse link or a relay that could cause this? When the key is turned on the red indicator lights blink six times, but the guages do not work. does this mean something?

If you are positive that every fuse is ok then you prabably need a new cluster. But it does sound like a fuse problem..
