Thanks Curt. I know it may appear I'm stupid, I know the battery has to be hooked up to get 12V from it. ;-) But I have been known to hook a meter up backwards. BTW, I also had 12V showing at the large red cable going into the relay and 12V on both sides of the flat fuse. But

Re: [MBZ] Fused

I just wanted to check, you specifically mentioned pulling the battery cable and then went on to say you had no power... I've got some alligator clips that are super handy for something like this, as Curley says its hard to get from the key switch to the plug and fumble around with the leads so

Re: [MBZ] Fused

The relay works by balancing the current through #1 plug against the current of all the other plugs combined, scaled by a factor. (The scaling is done by making a little transformer, four turns against one in a five-cylinder.) There are thus only TWO outputs of the internal relay, it's possible

ANY GP WIRES THAT ARE GROUNDED ON THE MANIFOLD (most common problem) WON'T SHOW THE FAULT WITH THE MANIFOLD REMOVED. Larry Turner via Mercedes wrote: I plan to take the intake manifold off (as soon as I get a stubborn bolt out) and then I will inspect the wiring looking for possible shorts.

Re: [MBZ] 80A Fuse

Correct and when doing this, all 5 pins on the relay should show +12v if the relay is good. Larry Turner via Mercedes January 2, 2017 at 7:56 AM This is similar to a previous question - based on the below it sounds like I can test the relay by removing the plug

Re: [MBZ] HELP!! My '91 300D is Not Starting

Many meters are not good enough at measuring low-ohms to reliably troubleshoot glow plugs. A Fluke, though, is good enough. It's what I use. It's an easy test: if you short the probes together does it measure exactly zero ohms, or nearly zero ohms? The true answer is not exactly zero. (Unless

Re: [MBZ] HELP!! My '91 300D is Not Starting

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was attempting to create a copy of the 6 hole plug (only 5 holes are hot for a 300D) hoping the X would indicate the Pin coming out of the connector.Each X should have a number 1 to 5 next to it. Each of those 5 posts had an electrical value that

Re: [MBZ] Fused

That's always possible.. It was around 60F in the garage but the engine has not been started in 2 weeks or so. When my wife came home I asked her to turn the key to PreGlow while I tested the pins coming from the relay. With the Pins correctly oriented I put the red probe to the 12v source
