'80 123 Odometer sticks at xx9.9
The odometer sticks at xx9.9...eventually turning again but sticking long enough to make the trip meter useless. It must have been going on for a long time...total miles are under 80K. Something needs some grease?

1985 300SD Cable Broke - How Open Hood?
When the body shop repaired my 300SD, they nor I knew about the hood cable adjustment. It was FULL TIGHT and just snapped the other day. I got hold of the cable by reaching into the slot above the driver side headlight...the cable is disconnected from the release "latch" on that side. I can easily pull it and release the passenger side latch, but that does NOTHING for the driver side hood latch. How can I get to the hood latch on the driver's side? What do I have to do to release it? The front end is pretty much all new, but not everything is a real factory fit.

1982 300D Failing to start, dash lights dim and clicking sound
Interesting set of events this weekend: car would not start, clicking sound, so I jumped started the 300D and took it for a drive; when I returned, I shut off and tried to start again; nothing, so I tried to jump start again, nothing, only clicking sound.
I tested the fan blower, windshield wipers, radio, and electric windows, and all worked; however, when I turned the key to start, all lights on dash went off, and the clicking noise persisted until a few moments later; then lights came on but no start;

92 300CE Numerous electrical problems
My 92 300CE has several electrical issues that I think are related. First my left tailight and park lights stopped working. After several months my headlights and flashers started to blink everytime I open my door, at times will driving and when I turn the car off. It seems that the alarm system is envolved because after approx. 105 seconds after getting out and locking the door the blinking stops. And also now my sunroof tilts open without me doing it sometime during that period. Are there any suggetions on the cause or causes and corrective action I can take.
