123 Cruise control (yes, I searched first :))
After reading several posts on this subject I've decided that most likely my amplifier is not working. Where is it located?

Drop the kick panel above the drivers feet. Three screws accross the edge closest to the dash and a couple 1/4 turn screws on the right and left side. I've seen em mounted a couple different ways. The one in my 240D is mounted directly to the other side of the kick panel and the 300TD is mounted to the left of the steering column. It is a silver aluminum box about the side of a pack of cigs. You will be looking at the end of it as you look up into the bottom of the dash.

Ok , Remove the under dash panel on the driver's side. Three phillips screws at the top under little plastic oval covers that pop in and out with a microscrewdriver. To the left and up of the steering column there is a shiny silver box standing up and bolted to a mounting bracket. It's 10mm screws and it is best to take the bracket half and the box out together. The wiring plugs into the bottom of the box. I hope this helps,

Actually, this thread reminds me...where can I find replacements for the 1/4 turn screws and the oval screw covers? The top of one of my 1/4 turn screws is badly stripped (needed vise grips ot get it out), and almost all of the oval things are loose when pushed in.
 I don't remember seeing either one on Fastlane...

Try a google search for " quarter turn fasteners" and "Dzus". Aircraft and now computers often use these for easy access....

Warden:
Want an easy fix for your quarter turn screws? Take a #2, or #3 if they are really stripped out, screwdriver and heat the tip up. Not too much - just a little at a time. When it gets hot enough, push it into the top of your quarter turn screw as deep as it should go if removing it, and carefully hold it there until it sets. It will melt the plastic enough to fill in the gaps. Run it under water to cool it the rest of the way down, pull out the screwdriver, trim off any flashing and presto - new head.
