I just went out to start my 1981 300sd and the battery was stone cold dead. It
started fine two days ago. I put a charger on and walked out 15 minutes ago and
red battery indicator light is on. It stays on with key in the off or on
position. In addition the glow light did not come on when I tried starting it.
It is about 20 digress F out there tonight. I did not start. I am going out
to try it again.....Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike in Michigan

Yea, (1) the drive belt to your alternator is loose [been there in colder
weather] or (2) the brushes in your alternator need to be realigned with a
big hammer, or (3) your alternator is shot.

Most men want to spend time in the garage. As for me, I'd much rather be in
the kitchen -- cooking, not eating.
