I am having trouble getting the bulbs to behave in the cluster on Allen. The things have never responded to the rheostat when I turned the headlights on. The rest of the stuff is also not really making photons. The fiber optic stuff does not seem to make light on the cluster, but the radio and ashtray light up.
I pulled the cluster a few days ago and gave it a test. The rheostat is not working, as the spring unrolled and did not make decent contact anyway. I used the multimeter to chase things. Used 12v to see where electrons flowed. They seemed to flow enough between ground and spots on the rheostat. They flow across the ground strap on the cluster. They flow well enough to put power to the ground and apply to the the spot on the board at the bulbs both light up. But, I can not figure out where the electrons are falling off. Anybody ever have this happen? clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1986 SDL - Polei 1982 300 SD - Allen retired models- 1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
