Sounds like you have a wiring problem in the dash? I would guess the first step is to check all connections and fuses.

Pull the FSM for it and see if you can trace a connection that impacts the guages and the lights. Might narrow it down a bit.

also, have the gauge faces been changed out? if so the needle could be off for that reason.

jltibbs i think it might have something to do with the gauges being swapped.

When i bought the car, everything about it said GLE, but it had no badge....and the white SE gauges. THe dealer advertised it as a SE and now i am questioning it...Might explain why my car has only 83000 miles and i am having a lot of huge issues more typically associated with higher milage cars.
