On two separate occassions lately, the 300TD did not start. I jumped it both times and voila, it starts. Well, last time, I let it sit for a week before digging into it and started it before I got to work (just to see) and it started just fine! Hmm... Problem - shifter bushings are loose and the neutral safety switch was not doing it's thing. So when it didn't start this morning, I moved the shifter lever around and it started just fine. Soultion: new shifter bushings, obviously (they are loose) Anyway, useful hint in case your car doesn't start someday. Chris

With the ignition switched on (Accessory setting) the fan will work perfectly normal from highest to lowest speed. With the car on the fan stops working. Pushing the defrost button or any number of buttons and changing fuses results makes no difference. I am at my wits end. What else should I be looking at? Should I be poking around the fan instead of the ACC brains? BTW the monovalve is working as I notice it will cycle between heat and non heated air but with no force coming out of the vents. Also I can hear the vacuum pods working as I push the ACC buttons Thanks, Fred Johnson Chicago 1977 240D 1983 300SD __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
