Re: [MBZ] I killed it Jim! Then, fix it Bones!

The seat belt interlock was 1974 only.  Bad idea, as everyone either  
hot-wired it and still didn't wear seat belts, or people who did often  
found it necessary to hot-wire the system so they could start their  
cars when it failed.

Wasn't there one year where they tried a seat-belt
starter interlock?  There's an underhood switch to
bypass it, for servicing.

I have not tried neutral yet.  I did some tracing of the circuits and I think 
the thing I undid was part of the start system.  At least that is what the 
diagram seems to indicate.  I will try anyway

Neutral safety switch?  That switch lives in a dirty environment.  Have you
tried it in neureal?

[MBZ] I killed it Jim! Then, fix it Bones!

2015-06-29 Thread clay via Mercedes
The 300d (76) has been sitting for a while.  I seem to have killed the 
connection from the key to the starter.  The glow circuit seems to work, the 
key turns and lights up the dash bulbs as normal, but when I turn the key to 
engage the starter, Nothing.

I have been removing wires from the door and other non-essential(?) items.  
Thinks like AC and window, sun roof.  The window wiring went out the firewall 
to a box (passenger side) that had fuses and wiring block, but also an 
ancillary pig tail that went under the fuse to a relay? with four wires.  A 
heavy red, a heavy black and standard ground (brown) and another wire.  I was 
messing with this bunch just prior to the no start.

What I need to do is divest as much as I can from the key and put it all on 
dash switches.  I need a kill switch, glow, ignition, start, and want the 
lights divorced from the spin dial.  Any tips?
