Sure sounds like the classic symptoms of poor connections on the tach amp socket. This is a round cylinder thing (mini-silo) that lives on the port side inner fender. On an '85, the socket is there - but it's empty! Prior to '85 there should be a plugin module. The classic fix is a cigarette butt between the top of the cover and the amp to make it push down tighter in the socket. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
