[W126 Coupe] FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION GAGES!

[Eddie]

If the alternator or other related parts of the charging system is having
problems, what should happen is all the lights on the gauge cluster will
come on first, but the gauges may or may not die.  Just my experience
though...

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?
