A 12 volt test light is a very handy tool to have when working on any car but it is particularly important if you have a old diesel. This tool will allow you to quickly determine if there is power getting to your glow plugs, and if not where the power is breaking down.
Tired of lugging around heavy batteries or battery boosters to test electrical components in your car? It does not have to be a Mercedes. It does not even have to be a car. Anything that runs off 12 volt DC power can be tested by these small, light weight but very powerful batteries.
An annoying problem on many older Mercedes up to 1980 that have an aluminum housing surrounding the turn signal arm latching assembly. When these wear out the lever will not hold position when you push it up or down.
To many people, automotive electrical systems and testing are a big mystery. It is not as complicated as you might think.
When an old Mercedes ( or any other car for that matter ) has sat idle for over a year it can be a challenge to get it safely back on the road again. If it has sat idle for more than 5 years you may find it difficult to even get the engine running.
This is the best DRIVER SIDE we've ever seen. Super straight no appreciable wear, and operates smoothly up-and-down with no noise. Complete with motor drive assembly, rubber coupling, and even the nylon clips for the bottom of the glass rail.
Good usable condition. The distributor shaft condition is tight. Vacuum advance works and has been tested. The distributor cap has very little wear on the points. Ignition wires are still soft. Coil wire is missing. Rotor is missing.
ONLY ONE SET AVAILABLE. Do not order more than one. These are NOT reproductions. These are original NOS fuses from. the 1960s.
The power window is stuck closed. Do the tests outlined in this video first. You may have to remove the regulator and to do that; you have to lower the window. But how???
Did the engine just quit? Does it just not start even with prolonged cranking? What could it be? The first thing you want to determine with most older cars is whether there is spark to the plugs.
PLEASE NOTE: EACH HOLDER HAS SIX SLOTS
When removing valve covers or changing wires, replace these with new ones. They may look good, but they usually break due to engine heat and age.
The leads are black and red and three feet in length. The alligator clips can be removed to give you other options on how you use them.
In this 29-minute instructional video, Kent will show you how to convert your old points ignition to an efficient modern electronic ignition. Rid yourself of those old high-maintenance distributor points forever.
We are only selling the custom-made shutter here, along with installation instructions, if you own a Crane or Fast XR700 electronic ignition or can find one on your own. Watch the video below for a thorough explanation.
You do not need a $100 plus multimeter to test most automotive electrical components. But you do need one that is very accurate and easy to read. This is especially true when testing D-jetronic and K-Jetronic fuel injection.
To many people, automotive electrical systems and testing are a big mystery. It is not as complicated as you might think.
When the motor won't move the window down you can not get to the bolts that hold the regulator to the glass. So then how can you get it out of the door! What a pain! In this xxx minute video Kent will show you what you need to do in order to get a "stuck" power window regulator out of a door.

Very good working used part as shown. If your sunroof will not move but you can hear the motor running, the gears inside your transmission may be damaged. It may also be due to a worn clutch or a stripped sunroof cable. Inspected and gears in excellent condition.
It is a good working and tested unit, as shown. To fit your car, ensure you have three wires going to the unit. A brown wire will be attached to the bracket ground. The rubber coupling between the motor and drive unit is in good condition.
This is a must-have if you have a prized Benz or any car you don't drive often!! If you let any of your cars sit for long periods ( generally over 30 days) without driving them, you can ruin your battery, especially if you let it go completely dead.
In this video instruction Kent will show you how he installs our battery tender kit in a W124 Mercedes.
After years of "fighting" fuse replacement, Kent finally decided he had had enough! And so was born another special tool. It is designed to securely grab hold of a ceramic fuse, remove it from it, and replace it with minimal exertion and no damage.
In this video Kent explains some of the key reasons for poor battery contact and loss of voltage to important electrical components. If you want your later model Mercedes to run a peak performance pay attention to your battery.
Have you been having electrical problems in your older Mercedes? Maybe you have taken the fuse box cover off and wiggled a few fuses and it has solved the problem for a while. You probably noticed corrosion on the tips of the old aluminum fuses.

Sometimes you need the extra heat! Like when replacing heater motor brushes.
