95 E300D SOME SMALL ISSUES - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

COLDSTART · #1 08-06-2013, 08:13 PM

I have had this car for a while now and it is very nice and smooth to drive ,I only have a few small issues left to deal with firstly is the front marker lights do not seem to be working,and I swapped out all the fuses for new copper ones, next the radio is not operating or even lighting up or even turn on , and lastly the outside temp display is light but nothing inside. there were a few other thingsnot working as well but when I put a new fuse in the overload protection relay they all started working. Also the cruise is not working either but I have not had a diesel that it did work in yet . thanks for any info

Usually non working cruise is due to a bad amp. Pull it (under steering column on yours, I believe) and send to forum member jamesdean for evaluation and, if necessary, rebuild.

You're in luck....they use the same amp. But, the coding plugs may be different. If so, make sure you use the coding plug from the 95 amp.

Did you check the bulbs? Do you see a bulb warning light in the gauge cluster when you believe they should be illuminated? In US (North American?) cars, the front corners illuminate as markers and turn signals. Outside the US, they're turn signals only. It's obvious by the double filament bulb and 3-pin socket in US cars, and single filament bulb and 2-pin socket otherwise.
