see if it is working?
Thanks,

Here is another problem with my gem(1994 e420).   Alarm will go off on

or the fuel pump goes bad since when the fuel pump goes bad you will need to
replace the relay again.   Any thoughts on how to ...

need it to order the correct replacement parts off the online stores.
They asked to choose from these but I have no idea what the chassis
code is:

My tape deck, radio, anntenna and signal lights will not work.  The fuse
