1984 300D Heater Blower Failure
My blower stopped working. Sometimes in the past when I restarted the car, the blower would work again. Recently I replced the ignition module, however the blower was working before and after the repair. How can I be sure the blower motor should be reoplaced before I buy a new one (appears they are expensive - $416).

Aftermarket radio wiring
I have a 1980 300SD in which was installed an aftermarket (Blaupunkt) radio. The left front speaker is the only one which currently works. I have checked continuity on the other speakers: there appears to be none. I also receive only a couple of stations, suggesting the antenna connection to be poor. I suspect that all of these connections were violated when the previous owner had the car repainted. Where do the wires for the other three speakers run? what would be the easiest way to access the speaker and re-establish wiring to the radio chassis?
Thanks,

1985 300SD Burglar Alarm problem
How do I disconnect, turn off, or otherwise disable the burglar alarm in my 1985 300SD ? I had to go through deep water (8"+) at slow speed. Shortly thereafter, when I turn on the lights at all, the burglar alarm goes off and lights flash. This is embarrassing, at the least, to drive at night, so presently I have just parked it in the garage until I can solve it. I tried the driver door key lock/unlock - no difference. After setting over a week in my garage to dry out completely - no difference. I live in rural N.W. Indiana and there is really no need for the burglar alarm.

83 300SD Window off track
Today I shut the door on my 300SD with the window down for the first time, and wouldn't you know it, now it gets stuck about half way up. I pulled the door assembly off but can not figure out how to get the window back in the track, it is the leading edge (towards the front of the car) that has jumped the track. Does anyone have some advice, or a direction I can look to get my window back where it belongs? Thank you in advance for your attention to my problem.

Early 126 300SD power seat switch replacement
n/a 1983 300SD passenger seat switch, the pin that controls the seat back broke off. The switch is hard wired and can not be removed by unpluging like the drivers switch can. I have opened up and replaced parts in the removable switches, but I am afraid to open this switch because I do not know what will happen when I pop the cover off, as I can not lay it on its back. Any Ideas or help are welcome.
