'84 300D-T electrical woes
I've got an '84 300D turbo that's pretty sweet except for a few nagging problems. I'll start with the electrical since they're the most serious. My headlights go out sporadically. Sometimes it's from hitting a bump, sometimes it's from the turn signal cancelling, there's no rhyme or reason. If I pull back on the brights lever, they come back on. If I push forward into brights, I have nothing. Also, when I turn my headlights on, my fuel guage jumps forward. It will even click in time with the turn signal. Last, are parking light lamps the same as turn signals? I have a side that flashes but will not come on in parking lamps. Add that into a sticking odometer, possessed suspension, and a rear axle that I just fixed with carquest cheapies that failed immediately and it's going to be a full weekend.

Check the soldered electrical connections behind each light. I have had some crazy electrical probs and they were in that area.
