[W126 Coupe] FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION GAGES!

[Sam Sisic]

A while back someone mentioned that this could be alternator brushes
nearing end...
It would make sense as I understand the electrical system will shut down
all un-necessary power draw to keep the engine systems running on
remaining battery juice.
Just a thought...

All the best to everyone for the Holidays and 2007!!

I noted the email concerning the death of all gages and it is kinda  
like what has happened to me recently. I was driving and all of a  
sudden all if  the gages just died on me also...and then about four  
or five miles later the whole panel came back to life and lasted for  
about another 5 miles and went out again and after another five miles  
or so they came back on and I have not had a problem since.
I  suspect that something is really wrong. I checked all the fuses  
and they all seem and look okay. I am not sure where to go from here.  
Any suggestions out there?
