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. -- 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/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

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.

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