I think the next stop is Sears. To pick up a DMM with a duty cycle!! To be factual there are two techs in this story. One at the ******** was the one telling me to throw parts at it. The shop that I took it to was reputable European repair shop that specializes in Mercedes. Both use only OEM parts and have good reputations. Most of this happened before I found this forum. I had a very limited brain trust to pull from then! But there's always a challenge out there isn't there? I just wish it hadn't happened to me. A good friend of mine tells me that I know just enough to get into trouble, that often I attempt things that I would be better off leaving alone. I guess that's an accident of birth because it's my nature. And with the help of God and a few friends, I'll work this out. Hmmmmn... Gainesville is only three and a half hours from here!!!!
