1980 450SL battery good, Electrical dead
When turning on ignition, no electrical system lights come on, No panel lights, no parking lights, no solenoid click. Battery is at 100% on charger. What do I "bang on" or check next?

Checked Battery ground on the one year old battery. No help, still dead electrics, even the clock. Anybody have an idea?

Dummy found the problem
Yes, it sure acted like a ground (it wasn't), a corroded positive (it wasn't), my charger showing a full battery (ah ha!) Outlet for charger had no power and charger indicated full battery when it was dead. I guess I have a power drain someplace. Thanx for your comments. Mercedes Benz is picking up the cost of the Technicians visit.

Gratis Visit for Technician
Would you mind telling us how you get a "n0-charge" call from a MB tech on a 1980 car? I thought these were chargeable after the car is off warranty.

Gratis visit
I guess I'm just lucky and have a good Benz dealer. I went to the Dealer to discuss the problem with the service advisors and they couldn't help and suggested that I talk to one of the technicians. He dropped by after work (he lives near me) and got me running. I asked about the charges and he said, "Mercedes will cover it." I had the same thing happen when I had a failure on my 1983 300Cd and they towed it to a dealership 150 miles away for no charge. I'll still wait to make sure.

Good for you and I hope that's the case for all of us owners.

Cost is zero
Got the charge sheet in the mail yesterday and it was N/C or no charge.
