83 300CD AC Vent Issues
MY 1983 Mercedes 300CD TurboDiesel AC produces no air flow at the vent. I have rebuilt the motor, new brushes and it works beautifully. I tried reversing the wiring at the plug under the dash and that produced less pressure. I measured the flow by taking the motor fan out of its housing and turning in on and it is still fine and produces a good
fan noise when in the housing.
Next I checked all the vents and only the center vent needed a connection. Now they all work and work correctly according to the the CC control sequence. All tested well.
Still no flow at the vent only a whisper of air.

'83 300TD Footrest removal
I'm having difficult removing cracked footrest. Footrest is connected to plastic kickplate with 2 plastic rivets. Kickplate seems attached to car body with a clip on the inside. I cannot remove kickplate no matter which way I pull it. Also, do I destructively remove the 2 plastic rivets holding the footrest? Do you sell new rivets? Thanks for your help.

1985 300SD Disconnected blue Wire near battery
Found a disconnected blue wire near my battery. Can't figure out what it goes to. The previous owners installed an aftermarket radio so I'm wondering if it is from that or if this wire was disconnected from somewhere else. I'm having difficulty tracing it to figure where it is going. Any help is much appreciated. The wire comes through the firewall into the area near the battery and is blue.

1984 300 CD Rear Bumper Corrosion
removed the rear bumper and associated rubber trim pieces because the black trim piece running the length of the bumper was loose. Further investigation revealed it's time to conduct some corrosion control on all the metal parts.
Looking inside the bumper one bumper shock has separated from the bumper. I plan to just drill holes and bolt the bumper and shock back together. However, the bumper is severely corroded where the bumper and bumper shock contact, possibly a case of dissimilar metal contact.
