My 300D's blinkers and windows suddenly don't operate. There is an electrical shut down. The tachometer, gas gauge, blinkers, windows, emergency lights don't work. They all shut down at once while I was operating the vehicle. Other things like radio, wipers, clock, fan, a/c work fine.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Has this happened to you?
I have a '83 300sd which wants a new tranny!
Which tranny will fit this car?
I have a tranny from an 83 or 84 wagon, will that fit?
Any help would be great!
I recently replaced the hydraulic suspension/leveling valve on my 1986 560 SEL. Other than opening the breeder on top of the valve, is there any other step necessary to finish the job and make the suspension operational i.e. loose the connection at the top of each strut to bleed the air between the valve and the strut??
I have a 1981 240D automatic tranny and today I took the car out for a drive on the highway for ~30 min. then stopped at work for a few hours as I was about to go home I realized my car would no longer go into reverse. All the other gears work normally, fluid level is fine and I hear no grinding sound like its trying to go into reverse but can't. Does anyone know what might be going on??? I am going to climb under the car tonight and see if anything looks crazy out of place but I don't know really what I should look for. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Greetings! I posted here recently about not being able to open the trunk or fuel door on my son's 1987 190D. The other day I borrowed a hand vacuum pump and drove over to his college to try to fix it. I found the actuator under the rear seat, disconnected the yellow tube that runs to the back and pulled a vacuum on it--still couldn't get into either. I'm sorry to say I had to take a hacksaw blade to the little stob that locks the fuel door. But I DON'T want to mess up his trunk latch, so do you have any suggestions on how I can get in?
Hello,
Is there a main reason why the rear defrost wont work? I cheked the fuses and the wiring on the switch. Checks ok.
Any thoughts or suggestions would help, these rear windows get really iced up quick!
Thanks

1983 380SL IDles high, real high. Have tried several things from fuses to idle modules. But from reading the ignition swithch easy install kit, it seems the problem may be in the switch. When inspecting that area i discovered a wire spliced into the harness at the steering wheel. Placed a prob in line and it lights when starting the car. Also the heater blower motor is not functioning and the right side lights on high beam are out as well. I have no dash lights and the tach is not working.
I am excited to install the taller gearset differential, purchased from mercedessource, in my 81 300D. I'm wondering if the new gear ratio will affect the speedometer function. I have an opportunity to acquire a good speedo from a turbo if its necessary.
Thanks...
