I will trade you something for it. OK Don wrote:
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?
