95 C280 Brake warning lights and speedo

[camhar1]

I have a 95 C280 that has been perfect up to this point. This morning I was cruising along and the speedometer died. Also all three brake warning lights came on. Has anyone had this happen before and what could be the cause.We just had our first taste of cold weather and I'm thinking this could be the cause.

See if they are on same fuse. If so, use sandpaper (NOT STEELWOOL, to avoid sparking) to clean the fuse ends and fuse CONNECTORS. This little trick has helped me with dead/erratic instrument clusters, AND with an erratic air conditioner, saving much woe and shop expense.
