Hi Steve,

Excellent , that gives me something to check out , I'll do some more work on it tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

Your picture didn't appear this end , would be real grateful if you could re-post.

Thanx much,

Hi Steve,
Forget the message about the pic , it has now appeared

Hi Steve,

Am having some trouble locating the appropriate connector/wire , my wiring diagram is just a typical diagram not specific to the 300E.
Where should I look for that connector ?

The picture was just a story about a similar situation in a 126 body 420SEL. The circuit to follow through and connectors available is the starer to KE controller circuit. The connectors are shown in the wiring diagrams.

Hi Steve,

Have been unable to work on the 300E recently , but I still have that problem.
Have not found a similar circuit on my car (KE control to starter) so have been looking at alternative causes.
There is alot of talk about overvolt relays so I measured the charging voltage , was surprised to see 15 volts (engine running) which does not change with load or revs. Battery volts are OK with engine off.
Could this cause the overvolt relay to switch in and out ?
Is there a way to test the overvolt relay ?
Or am I following a false lead considering the results with the EHA current ?
As always your help is much appreciated.

Gary
