Well..the system is in default because, I think the vacuum pump is dead. No vacuum produced at all. I can open the driver's or passenger's door with the key manually(no vacuum). I then open the rear doors by hand. Of I could find a good used pump, then I can be able to figure out the system. ___ 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

I will remove the vacuum pump and post a photo of it. I have tested the tubing with my mitivac. No leak detected. The vacuum pump itself doesn't appear to be running when electrified. So I suspect the pump is dead.. ___ 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

The problem I suspected is the vacuum pump in the trunk. This pump is very different from those I saw on Ebay. I believe because this model 350SDL comes with heated orthopedic driver's seat. This pump has two vacuum ports on the back and the rectangular power connector has three male pins. Anyone has one laying around? Thank you.. ___ 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
Re: [MBZ] 1991 350SDL Vacuum pump
Thanks to Dan for your suggestion. I managed to open the fuel door. The re is no air leak anywhere in the tubing as Max mentioned. I am suspecting the vacuum pump in the trunk has gone south. Anyone have a good vacuum pump laying around? This model has an orthopedic driver's seat. PM me if you have one.

[MBZ] 1991 350sdl
One thing I am confused is that the members do not know the difference between the early and late models. Let me clarify from what I see on this 1991 model compared to the early model. No glove box. Airbag replaced it. Glow plug egulator has no strip fuse There is no alternator charging icon on instrument cluster, instead only battery icon( it comes on when key is on and goes off when engine starts) All instrument icon(glow plug, battery, brake, airbag lights comes and goes out when wngine fires up. Nothing to dowith interior done, radio etc lighting.. I picked up the car from dealer today, drove it home. Parked engine off and quickly restart and the car started but struggled (low juice, I think). I have battery on charger, for 30 minutes and it will start the car). There is no other electrical Gizmo draining the battery because car will start based on battery fully charged but alternator will not load the battery. I will take the car to my friend's shop to follow the list of form recommendations.. This car is great, OM603.96x with #22 head and well transplanted to this 1991 350sdl chasis, everything working perfectly when I bought it. If you have any other thinking, I will welcome it before I go to my friend's shop on Saturday.

One other thing the tech mentioned.. "..The belt is severely stretched and worn and is slipping due to excessive rust on the pulleys. This could also be a contributing factor to the no charging condition" --O'Riley Moonasingh Mercedes-Benz of Silver Spring -- Forwarded message - From: Date: Tue, Jan 22, 2019, 3:55 PM Subject: 1991 350SDL Alternator issues: Revisit. To: Hi Listers, Thank you for your valuable advice regarding my previous post about my car mentioned above. Got response from the dealership tech. New ignition switch installed and it didn't see the charging issue. Whew! Saved me $700. I will be picking up my car Tomorrow(Wednesday)and take it to another shop owned by my friend. Now what I know: Alternator is brand new and good Battery is brand new and should be good Ignition switch is not the issue (original switch put back) No $0.00 charge for diagnosis Can any of you give me a list of what to check to figure out why no battery charging. I would appreciate the list of recommendations to take with me to the shop where I will be working on the car along with my friend and ask that we follow exactly your lists step by step. I will drive the car to the shop Saturday morning (by appointment) to have the car worked on. You may leave ur contact privately in case we can call you. Thank you.

The glow plugs relay doesn't have a strip fuse. I have done all battery tests. The new battery in the car is an interesting battery. Brand new yet it is drained after a week's installation. That's why I took it to a Mercedes-Benz of silver spring (MD) dealership. That's where they diagnosed ignition swotch ad the issue.

The idiot lights comes on and goes off when engine is running and idling. Once the battery is charged for a few minutes, the engine fires up. When key is turned to off and engine stops, car won't start again because the battery has no juice. Car is with the dealer who diagnosed ignition switch. Special ordered.. $700 had me stumped..

[MBZ] Alternator opinion welcomed 350sdl
I have a 1991 350SDL chasis. OM 603.961 engone was transplanted. No issues whatsoever.. until I got problem with battery. Shop says alternator.. I got new battery and a week later battery died. Took car to shop and a Reman OEM realternator installed at the dealer. Alternator is not charging the battery so battery is dead all the time and have to be jumped to start the car. The Dealer diagnosed the issue to be ignition switch at a $700 cost of replacement. I'm stuck with this bill. How does an ignition switch affect the charging of the battery if alternator goes bad? ___ 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
