Hi all,

My 1992 300D 2.5 Turbo is totally dead. Had the glow plugs changed at my indy last week (second or third time I've had them change the plugs for me) and the car ran great for about 2 days after getting it home. I had them put in Beru as that's all I could get on short notice--I historically used Bosch.

Now I got no start, no dome light, no headlights, no brake lights, no clock, no buzz from the dashboard or dash lights, no click from under the hood when turning the key--nothing.

- I cleaned the battery terminals with the battery terminal wire brush cleaner and the battery cables.
- I left the battery charger on it overnight on 2amp and it says it is charged. My volt meter says like .02 but I'm sure I have something screwy with it as I have a love-hate relationship with it (more like hate-hate).
- I checked fuses and the big strip fuse just outside the fusebox and they appear good.

I have not tried jumping it yet from my 560 as my jumper cables aren't long enough. Battery is new this summer so is alternator. Battery is Mercedes brand, alternator is rebuilt.

It's pretty cold up here but my garage is heated, about 30-35 degrees all the time, so shouldn't be too cold.

Are there any other main fuses outside of the fusebox that could cause this? Or something during a gp change that could easily get bumped or not reattached?

I'll work on trying to jump it... otherwise suggestions welcome.

Thanks.
