Hi, need some advice here. I have a 1995 E220 w124 saloon. As the title suggests, I have an intermittent failure of heated rear window, indicators, hazard flashers and intermittent front wiper. Clearly the multi function relay (controlling all these functions) is the primary culprit, but before...

OK this is my first post on here, Have a 1998 C180 Elegance Estate bought for £450 as a non runner. As you can guess for the price is has a few issues, full history until about 2 yrs back, then i believe a few months of abuse followed by 6 months off the road. Car is now running well though have...

I have just taken this off a 300e 24v that I am breaking. It is in good solid condition, only surface rust which will clean up with a wire brush attachement on a drill. Comes complete with twin electric sockets and relay, ready to wire up. This is a proper tow bar which bolts through the boot...

Is there a towing plug on my car (like Vauxhalls have :rolleyes:) or do I need to do it the old fashioned way?

Can anybody explain the pathway of electricity from the main power source to the car component ? i know it is a hard question but i appreciate any help

Hi all, I am planning on adding a little additional feature to my C220 (CDI Avantgarde SE) which will disable the electrics to the engine as part of an 'extra' to the standard alarm/inmobiliser. I have no problem in designing and installing the device but need to find a suitable...

Hi, I have fitted a towbar to my c220 cdi and wired the electrics in but the bulb tell tail light keeps coming on. Read somewhere that you are supposed to use a special wiring harness for this - is this true and if so where can I get one from. Appreciate you help. cheers Barny

Hi all, After my 2001 clk coupe had been idle for last couple of months I have a few of annoying electrical problems listed below... not sure if it could be down to fact that the battery may have been too low in voltage for his particular model but the battery has since been replaced and still...

Dear Members, I have an E240 1998 Saloon which has developed a problem with the electrics. The following items have stopped working 1) Alarm system (anti-theft and interior sensors) 2) Directional indicators 3) Windscreen washer system 4) Radio 5) One of the rear windows has also...

Driving home from work yesterday and went to wind the drivers window down and nothing happened i then tried every switch on the drivers door and nothing would work, ten minutes later all was ok again so i pressume i have a problem with the wiring going into the door, has anyone else had similar...

Hi all, just wondered if anyone could help me or knew of anyone that could. i have a c class 2006 saloon and used it the other day to transport water for my fish tank. One of the bags leaked about 2 litres of water into the boot and when i pulled up i had the ABS light flashing. later on i...

Hello all i fitted a new Westfalia detachable towbar and 13 pin euro electric harness with bypass relay and split charge relays to my w220 s class a few weeks ago, when i hook the caravan up i get a dashboard message brakelight failure and it switches a reserve brakelight on i.e the reverse...

Hey all, my 202 has developed an issue. The physical boot lock has never worked, in fact you can actually pull the barrell right out. I was always able to open the boot with the keyfob or button on the dash however, so it was never an issue. Today I opened the drivers door - interior and dash...

For my new car (2003 ML270CDi) I'm looking to fit a tow bar. My car electrics experience is limited to fitting radio/cassettes, etc. in the days when Hillman Hunters & Cortinas were popular:o I've looked at many web sites for supply of towbars & electrics. There are simple cheap electric...

Hi Have just joined this forum as I have just bought a 1981 380slc and it needs a couple of (hopefully not too expensive) fixes. The dashboard lights don't come on with the lights and the heater fan does not come on (although hot air comes through the vents when moving). I did have a 280ce...

My W203 CDi 220 2001 automatic has an intermittent problem, the gear selector display in the dash just goes blank and it won't change gear anymore, after a restart it's fine. This occasionally happened from start up. It's now started happening while driving, and it affects other electrics now...

A mate has a CL500, about 5/6 years old and it's been in the workshop for the last week with an interesting problem... Park up in the evening, everything fine and dandy. Next morning, car won't open except with the key - faff about with that and the alarm, etc. Get that sorted, key in, fire...

I seem to have lost the autochoke. Normally from cold the engine would idle at 1100rpm, then would go to 900 when a bit warmer then settle at 650 when warmed up. Now it starts at 500 and when its fully warm it idles around 850/900. Also around the same time the electrics started to play up so...
