fuse was fine and ovp did not have a rattle. It does seem that the ovp is the original equipment. kinda dirty under the lid whee the fuse was.

When I first got the 300E about a month ago the fuse was blown.

I tried to jump start the battery but it would not hold a charge so i picked up a new batter so i could drive the car home.

Not sure if anything I have said helps. I just sold my more reliable car and motorcycle I was planning on making this my daily driver for the next 2 yrs until i get settled in buying my first home.... So I need to get this beast running smooth.

Also, on a shorter not I work 30 miles away and I need to get there in 2HRS. ...
