Agreed. I had heard that someone had posted a schematic some time ago, but I didn’t take note as I didn’t have a car that it applied to. I got some screen shots so I have these for potential future use. Dan > On Oct 17, 2016, at 3:28 PM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > >

Re: [MBZ] Deoxit question

That's worth a try (DeOxIt) but I'm skeptical that will work. It's a very simple system, just the magnetic pick-up sensor on the engine, the can (tachometer amplifier) and the tachometer, and the wiring and a fuse. Change all the fuses? Check the grounds? There is the big ground point behind

Re: [MBZ] Deoxit question

Oh that. I have a spare "can" and neither works for more than a minute or two, which makes me think the contacts in the receptacle (female unit) need rejuvenating with Deoxit, or that the tach combination gauge is somehow at fault (I have several spare gauges but pulling the cluster and resetting

Re: [MBZ] Deoxit question

No, the "can" is the small black round thing with a plastic tie attached to the car, and has male pins. See picture in post #3 here: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/91760-location-tach-amp-w123.html Or Google "123 Tachometer Amplifier" for images. - Max

Re: [MBZ] Deoxit question

They are most likely dead as well. The root cause of the failure is either failed capacitors or failed solder joints in the circuit board that is buried in RTV inside the can. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On October 16, 2016 8:53:21 PM EDT, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes

I was also thinking that Andrew might want to take the female plug apart and tighten the little receivers a bit to promote better contact. I did that with mine and it has worked fine even without Deoxit. Manfred Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2016 13:04:48 -0500 From: OK Don Also,
