On my '91 and '93 the plug Arthur Dalton referred to is near the brake booster on the firewall and worked well for testing. The wires at that plug go to the speed controller and the motor.

They were made in W126 chassis in '84 but I'm rather certain not in US models. The 280 M110 motor is highly regarded.

My knowledge of that pump is limited, the pump thermostat is good...that was my first target. IIRC, the pump mixture screw should only be adjusted with the engine off.

What was the original battery chemistry, flooded lead acid or AGM?
