I have a 84' 300D. Its out of service right now while i try to figure out the electrical gremlins. So after a week of sitting, i decied to start it up and let it run. (FYI. somthing is wrong with the electrical system so it wont charge, but i had enough battery left to start it) So before i start it while waiting for the GP to turn off. The brake pad wear senser is illuminated. THis is odd due to the fact that all the lights on the left side of the dash are not illuminating during pre-glow (part of the electrical problem) once started, the light continued to illuminate. The light never illuminated before the break down. Maybe a caliper is locked from sitting outside in the rain and snow?

So i decide to back it up and bring it forwards a couple times to maybe unlock the caliper. Well i end up getting stuck in my drive cause i havn't had a chance to get it plowed. So as im rocking the car, i lean out to look at the tire. and to my suprise it was not spining, only the passanger side tire was spinning. But when i put it in reveres the tire grabbed. Put it back in drive and the that side acted like it was dead. Is this normal?

This car has me so agrivated. mostly cause i only have time for one car, 2 is over whelming.

Just wanted to share. If you guys wanta put your $00.02 in, go for it.
