WTB: Glow plug relay for W115 300D

[300decel]

I have a 1976 300D and am in need of a working glow plug relay. This is the 5-pin style. Thanks!

[ridgerunner]

I've got 1 from a 83 300d, OM617 engine, if it's the same.

[300decel]

I appreciate the reply, but I don't believe the relays are the same. Here's what mine looks like:



It's a poor pic, but it has 5 metal pins and one plastic locator pin. I got a little more life out of it by using emery cloth on the interior contacts, but now it appears to be totally kaput.

[ridgerunner]

Oh, yeah, that's up under the dash. I've got an old one of those, but not sure if its any good.

[300decel]

If it works at all, it's better than my current one

[ridgerunner]

Ok, I'll locate mine. You know, you can slide that cover off, and sometimes it's just a simple solder job to fix it.

[300decel]

Yep, I was able to get it working again last year by using emery cloth on the "points" but not any longer. I don't see any bad solder joints or traces, so I'm assuming it's beyond an easy fix.

[ridgerunner]

Ok, located the relay. Pay the shipping cost and I'll send it to you. I can't be 100% sure it's good. I did a OM617 N/A conversion, and converted from loop style plugs to the pencil plugs, and did away with this relay, and installed a 12v relay on a spring loaded toggle switch.
Just let me know.

[300decel]

Great! I'll IM you to set up shipping. Thank you!

[300decel]

Thanks ridgerunner, but the relay I received is a 7 pin version, not a 5. I must have fumbled my description of what I was looking for. No worries, it's my goof.

Still fishing for that relay......

[ridgerunner]

Oh, my bad. I went back and looked at your pic. You even said 5. I didn't even count pins; I assumed being under dash they're all the same. I'll refund your $10.

[300decel]

Nah, I'm not going to sweat it. But if you happen to have a working dash clock, perhaps we can apply it towards a deal.
