Re: [MBZ] Fun w/400E Today

I’ll tear into it this weekend if time permits, but I’m banking on the output transistor in the relay being bad. Outside of there being an open circuit between the relay and the light(s), I cant imagine what else would do it, especially since the relay is working. And relay is a relative term,

Again, lights for the left front and courtesy are controlled by the warning (N2/4) relay: http://penoff.com/photodump.html#0 Dan > On Mar 15, 2018, at 10:02 PM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes > wrote: > > On a lot of these cars, the ones I've played with anyway, the left and > right switches are d

Re: [MBZ] Fun w/400E Today

Door switch checks out good. Understand that the door switch goes to the seat belt/headlight warning buzzer (N2/4) relay *then* to the lights. It’s not a simple linear circuit on the driver’s side. It is, however, a simple linear circuit on the passenger side. I’m thinking the output transist

Re: [MBZ] Fun w/400E Today

That is, of course, if the switch tests good and seems to be hooked up correctly. -- Jim ___ 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/list

Re: [MBZ] Fun w/400E Today

On a lot of these cars, the ones I've played with anyway, the left and right switches are diode-isolated, so that the passenger door (for example) only runs the passenger-side lights, and doesn't cause the warning buzzers to go off. I've seen systems where this diode, located in one of the 'relays

+1 on this. My 87td has a bad switch right now. On Thu, Mar 15, 2018, 6:57 PM Curley McLain via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Usually, at least on older cars, the door switch is bad. > > > Dan Penoff via Mercedes > > March 15, 2018 at 8:01 PM > > A good

Usually, at least on older cars, the door switch is bad. Dan Penoff via Mercedes March 15, 2018 at 8:01 PM A good day - the oil pressure sender and remaining odometer gear came in the mail today…. So now I know I have +2 bar at hot idle, which is good to know, a

Check the wire integrity in the door hinges. My left rear was shot and kept blowing window fuses. Could be a similar deal. On Thu, Mar 15, 2018, 6:01 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: > A good day - the oil pressure sender and remaining odometer gear came in > the mail today…. > > So now I know

[MBZ] Fun w/400E Today

A good day - the oil pressure sender and remaining odometer gear came in the mail today…. So now I know I have +2 bar at hot idle, which is good to know, and my odometer works! Found some new H4 philips “blue band” headlight bulbs I got from Rock Auto on closeout, so I popped those in. I’m go
