Guys, which one is the power windows relay on an '87 300TD. I'm trying to find out why I lost the power at the fuse. It is fuse G, respective H, right? If I put power to the fuses G and H the windows are working.
Um, not sure. What the wiring diagram shows is a red/yellow wire leaving the ignition switch (hot in run) and going straight to the fuse box where it powers fuses A, 1 & 2. It looks like this red/yellow wire is crimped right to the buss bar that serves as a base for thse fuses.
I'll have to take a closer look at the power window circuit.

True story, funny storry! In december, I gave my spare ignition swich to my friend for his 190. Luckly, about 3-4 years ago, on one of my trips at the junkyard, I took an ignition cylinder when removing a dash. At that time, it was a useless thing to do, because it had no key. Talking about long term investement...
Thanks for your help, Augapfel!
I've been chasing the same pw issue (all windows occasionally don't work). I replaced the relay and thought it fixed the problem, but it didn't. Now, thankfully, they've stopped working completely (at least for now) so I can check a few things out.
There's power going to the relay from it's fuse but no power at the L/R pw fuses. That seems like it would eliminate any issue with a wire from the ignition (switch replaced 10ys ago anyway). Since the new relay didn't fix the problem it seems like it must be some sort of bad/loose connection but that doesn't seem like it would happen with the plug-ins.
Not having a wiring diagram, do you have any suggestion on ho I could troubleshoot at the relay wiring?
thanks,
Same Issue with 83 TD

Hey all,
I recently purchased a 1987 300TD and I'm in love with the car.
I really would like to upgrade the headlights to something nicer/brighter/newer. Anyone know any options? I've heard of Hella and Bosch but can't seem to find a good set anywhere.
For reference, these are the headlights...
I'm a newbie .. Please be gentle..
Some background of the car
Mercedes Benz W124 260E (1992) Right-hand drive
VIN WDB1240262B**
130K+ miles
Purchased 1+ yrs ago
I'm a newbie. So far I have done these (DIY):
1. New tyres + balancing + alignment (shop)
2. Axle gear / Final drive oil...
I found a 95 W124 at a price low enough to buy... I have yet to check it out but my curiosity needs help.
Is it a bad idea, especially as a daily @ 200K miles?
Hi, my 1994 Mercedes E320 wagon was so much damaged due to flex disc failures that caused a chain reaction of other nearby parts to be replace and/or repair that I had to tow the wagon to a reputable Mercedes Repair center in Nashville.
After diagnosing the issues, the shop foreman recommended...
