my 91 300D 2.5T did that. After checking each GP (all were new) and the
wiring brtween the Amp and GP I concluded the new GP Amplifier I bought from
the dealer a couple of weeks earlier had gone bad. They gave me a new one.
problem solved,
Now, while my problem was a bad amp you could be seeing a bad 1 or 2 GPs or
bad wiring between the Amp and one or more GP.
Have fun -

Subject: [MBZ] 300D 2.5 turbo wagongeist
Thursday AM I headed to Lawton (80 miles SW.). I turned on the key,
fastened the seatbelt, looked at the glow plug light, and saw that it
was off. It's usually still on for another second or two. The engine
started normally. When I released the key, the glow plug light turned
on, and stayed on for several minutes. The car has done strange
electrical things in the past, and turning it off, then starting it
again has always cured whatever was happening. So, I turned it off and
back on at the first stop. The glow light turned on after I released
the key again. It did the same thing when I stopped for fuel
($2.65/gal) 10 miles or so down the road. The car is operating
normally otherwise. We made a stop 15 miles outside of Lawton to pick
up a passenger - and the glow light still turned on after releasing
the key. We drove into town, and stopped for two hours. When we left,
the light worked normally - on when the key is turned, wait till the
light goes out, then start the engine, and the light stayed off.
It worked normally yesterday.
A week ago a noise that sounds like a vacuum operated CC flap started
somewhere in the dash while the ACC is in AC mode. It sounds like it's
springing open (or closed) every 5 to 6 seconds. I don't find any
change in air coming from the dash or windshield vents with the noise.
Neither changing from normal to equal upper and lower mode, nor
turning on/off the cabin recycle switch stops the noise.
Strange, must be a wagongeist. I've been wondering why Snook wanted to
sell this car ---- is the 300SEL haunted also?
