Re: [MBZ] help w/ 84 300sd
Emil, Your Relay is on the froward side of the Drivers Fender well. Very easy to change out if you need to. Make sure the Fuse is in good shape. Open the cover on the aft side of the relay you will see a 80amp strip fuse held on by two phillips screws. Remove the screws and then the fuse. They will develop minute cracks that can't be seen when installed. As far as the Antenna you can pull the cover and just disconnect the Power Leads to it then Pull the antenna up. Had to do this on a buddy's 300D until I got time to track down the problem. Russ W. 83 240D x2 LarryT wrote: The GPs are simple - a nut holds the electric wire on - and then the GP can be unscrewed.

Good luck - Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) I would like to tackle the GP's and the relay 1st. The weather here got cold a little while ago, and i had a tough time starting the car and figured it had to be the GS's and while doing that i would upgrade the relay. I have no trouble startint the car when the weather is warm. My second item would be changing the tranny filter, fuel filters, pre-filter, and oil filter. After that would be the truck seal and antenna mounting( put new cd player in and sounds good, but can not pick up local stations with antenna in down position. I tried to lift it up manually and got it about 1/2 inch up and it pulled itself back down. Not sure if it is the switch or motor, but no mater what i put the switch on it doesn't get any responce from the atenna, no noise or anything.)

might want to adjust the valves if you're having issues with cold starting.

The switch takes the input from the radio (the blue wire) and feeds it to the antenna. If the radio wiring is bad, the antenna will never come up. That's the first place to start, see if the feed to the switch (blue) is good or not. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com -- Sunil Hari 1992 300D 2.5T - 290Kmi.
