Way to go!! BTW, what kind of code reader did you use to read the
tranny codes? recall how much it was? Know if any decent code readers
are for rent?
Your ego gets a great lift to the stratosphere - it's it such a mess
dealing with all the electronics/computers and such!
Ain't it great when a plan comes together? ;-)

The $600E320 (now the $800E320) is ALIVE!!!!! Checked the trans fluid
this morning after starting it and running it a bit in neutral and
running through the gears without moving, I thought it might need more
but it was spot on with the 7.5qt I put in, so that was good. Little
while ago I hooked up the computer and after a bit of frustration got
it to talk to all the nannies and give a report on all the modules and
codes and faults and such (there were A LOT!). Cleared them, there
were still some that seem to be hard faults with some components or
something so will deal with those, but the transmission codes cleared
so that was encouraging. Took it out for a quick spin and IT
WORKS!!!! Trans shifts smoothly and properly, all seems well. Car
runs well though it seems to have some howling and rumbling coming
from the back end, might be tires or something, I'll have to check.
It was sitting for awhile so maybe the tires have some flats spots or
something. Everything underneath looked good and clean though, but I
will check again.
So $200 for conductor plate, new connector, and filter and fluid and
various bits and the car is now ready to roll! Will hit the DMV
tomorrow or Friday and get plates then do some shakedown. But it
seems like a really nice car, clean and looks good. I need a right
driving light, for some reason it looks like it broke off and is
missing. Nothing else it seems.
And I got the fancy computer working! Turns out it had the 38 pin
connector up under the fuse panel cover, so maybe using that instead
of the OBD port was the key. I'll have to look on the ML and see and
then get it hooked to that if it has one, maybe I can get it sorted
easily without having to mess with it much.
So a good Benz day!!!! YAY ME!!!!
