I have a 1986 300E; I have had to pump the gas to get it started. Then I noticed a few electrical issues; radio noise, dome light didn't work when I opened the drivers door, (it would work when I opened the passenger door), clock quit working. I checked the fuses and noticed a blown fuse for the clock etc. and I replaced it. Also went to the dealer and had them 'reprogram' the radio to get it out of "I'm being stolen" mode. Everything was working fine, except the dome light issue, then I went to start it last Monday and got nothing. The battery is 8 months old. The car will start if jumped. I checked the battery with a volt meter and only got 9.84V. I loaned my battery charger out about 8 months ago and still can't get it back. Anyway I could get one and charge my battery and then check my alternator. What should I do at this point? I have had to drive my Mini Van all week! Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bonnie
