| 1985 380SL Fast Idle | 04 Jan 2005 15:04 GMT | 5 |
I have an 85-380SL with only 78,000 miles on it. It only gets about 200 miles per year put on it. In the fall, the last time I drove it, it ran fine. I just tried to start it and the battery was dead. I jumped it to start it, and now it idles at 1500 RPM.

Where is the connection to check the pressure on the high pressure side of the A/C? Is it on the dryer next to the pressure switches under a cap? On the compressor and checked from the bottom?

| Replacing a lost key for 1990 300SE | 04 Jan 2005 05:49 GMT | 1 |
When we bought our 1990 300SE it came (used) with only one key, and now I seem to have lost it. Our local dealer tells me the only way to get a new one is to tow the car to the dealer and bring registration and ID. I can get transportation to the dealer, but I'm not a fan of ...

| 190E rear electric window problem | 04 Jan 2005 02:52 GMT | 5 |
Rear electric windows used to work sporadically. Now they don't open or close at all. I have the door panel off and checked for power. They are getting power - so it is not the fuse or the switch.

| vacuume leak problem '91 300e | 04 Jan 2005 01:15 GMT | 8 |
Here's the symptom: the dial for controlling the temp no longer works. If it's on AC it stays there even if I put it all the way to hottest. Then I noticed, if I rev the engine, it switches to the heater and works fine. I'm guessing it's a vacuum leak somewhere. Is this a back ...

| main air flap is bass ackwards | 03 Jan 2005 19:07 GMT | 9 |
Well, after replacing the left vacuum element of the two directly behind the glovebox, I no longer have the hissing sound of a vacuum leak, but my main flap works bass ackwards. When the system is off, the main air flap opens. Everything but off closes the main air flap. Any ...

| loss of dash lights | 03 Jan 2005 14:37 GMT | 2 |
First, a confession: I was installing a new radio head in a '83 SD. I forgot to disconnect the battery! While messing with the wiring, the hot wire touched another and, of course, blew a fuse. After cleaning out my pants,I finished the install and the radio worked fine except...

| Depreciation curve for SL500-Maximizing fun/minimizing loss | 03 Jan 2005 03:40 GMT | 8 |
After getting divorced, I decided to really splurge and get my dream car, since my ex always got the new cars in the past. I have owned a 2005 SL500 since Sept. 2004, and have enjoyed my experience. I do not regret buying the car, but I can say that I feel as though I have

Under the hood of my 380 SE there is a material I believe is to quite engine noise. The material is starting to fall off in the front onto the radiator fan. What can I use to re-attach the material to the hood? Thanks,

Got a quick question for the group. I just got my father a cd changer for his 1997 E300D. He cannot seem to find the wiring harness for it. I'm 600 miles away from him and can't exactly help. Anyone here know where they hide the harness? His car does have the radio that ...

| It's been fun, but farewell. | 02 Jan 2005 17:38 GMT | 7 |
I just got the news from my mechanic that my 300D needs a new transmission. This is the third time in 18 months that he's told me this. The second time the replacement was still under warranty, but this time it's out of warranty, so I'm afraid that after 275,000 miles, I'm
