Jim Wickham,

I have a similar problem with my 1987 300td. Where is the cobbled wiring that you fixed located?

Thanks

Forcing the rear headrests down will break the latch mechanism. 9 times out of 10 it's just the relay under the back seat on the left side.

There is no connection between the radio and courtesy light, HOWEVER:

The alarm system does have a switched lead to the radio, which has no purpose if you're replacing the stereo with a non-original radio, it is specific to the original becker radio. It sounds like this wire has been used for the ground or power possibly, re-wire the radio correctly.

I found more after a few hours with the test light.

The black/yellow wire that is the orginal power wire to the becker unit... is hot when the door is open. thru the no1 fuse... On the wiring diagram in the FSM it says that circuit powers the radio and a couple of other things and should be hot while key is in the on position.

When the door opens I can hear a relay click and the circuit goes hot on the first side of the fuse. Circuit is then dead if the door is shut, but again comes on with the key in the on position.

anybody know if this is natural?
