Installed new blower motor brushes today on my w126 '82 300sd -mine were worn down to nubs n(car has almost 400k on it) and I think the little brush springs had nothing to push against due to wear, Interestingly, I was able to operate blower with direct current from battery outside of the car on a vice but I think there was enough resistance in the car via internal wiring to prevent blower from operating. Car all cool -thanks Kent!
I am going crazy trying to figure out why the charge indicator, parking brake and brake wear lights on the dash are staying on? The engine runs fine. I searched the forums to no avail! Please help!! :(
Two days ago, when over a bump and the car "creaked".
This morning, when I turn or take a curve, a big CLUNK-CLUNK-CLUNK from the rear the car.
What could it be?
n/a How do you remove the two top trim strips on the hard top. Do they snap out, or are they attatched from below.
I dropped my car off at an auto body shop for a minor repair.
When I picked up the car I noticed the knob that adjusts the clock was mysteriously broken off. I found the knob, but it does not look like it can be glued back on.
Do I have to replace the entire cluster? Can the knob be replaced from behind the cluster?

Hello,
I'm getting a clunking noise in the front end when I go over bumps. I poked around underneath and couldn't find any play or wear anywhere, so I took it to a local shop. The mech said I've got a bad sway bar bushing, and it's "impossible" to get at. He also said it's not worth fixing since it's not dangerous as is. Is he right? Anyone else have a similar problem with this bushing? I'm considering going to another shop for a second opinion, since this could be a safety issue.
Thanks!
I removed my voltage regulator and when I took it out it looked like the attached image. Basically one brush at an angle and touching the other brush. I just put the new one it but after screwing the new one in I'm a bit confused as to how the old one got the one bent brush. Any ideas? Was it just a cheap part? There was no brand on it at all.
I guess this might get removed but images make it so much easier to show what is going on.

n/a All wipers have quite working. New wiper motor on rear hatch, new relay, and horn does not work. Horn is on the same circuit and fuses were good but I replaced the wiper/horn fuse any way. Rear wiper quite working first, then windshield wipers began failing intermittently and now are completely non functional. Ground issue?
After replacing wiper relay and wiper /horn fuse and checking for operation system did not function, then after setting overnight and starting in the morning wipers and horn worked, and have worked ever since. Is there a reset function happening here?
