Take a. That LWB W126 is _comfy_ with the seat flopped back.
Sunshades in front and hang some blankets on the sides, and
yer in bidness. I don't even put the seat back up on the
passenger side, unless I'm expecting one. That's rare.

Having gotten tired of trying to drive in and from Albuquerque with
intermittent flashers, I solved the problem this evening.
I went to Pep Boys, bought a two terminal flasher, cut two of the socket
pins out of my flakey MB flasher, spliced in some wire, and voilá! It
works just fine. Cheap, too.
So how can you tell if a light is not working now???

I do a pre-flight check when she goes out.
The dang S430 has messed up sensors and decides that I have blown bulbs. I
changed the bulbs that have failed, but the thing still insists the bulbs are
out. It depends on some ambiguous stray neutrino whether the indicator goes
crazy clicking
But is one bulb is not of the factory specified type, the indicator stays on.

Interesting that you mention this, as my new (to me) S430 has thrown warnings
for two lamps recently, but both are working.
I clear the fault and ignore it.

THat would qualify as a Cathey with oak leaves
awards if you'd only used a salvaged flasher. As
it is, it is a catheyesque fix and deserves a
