Re: [MBZ] Reman cluster, relays etc.
Never needed relays other than Klima. Never saw them advertise when I needed a klima, but the last one i bought was probably 2007. Since i've kept one I found in a junkyard as a spare, they don't seem to fail anymore! Correction: fleabay has bubout relays. I was searching as Lamp out relay, but on fleabay they list them as headlight relay. Or if you search on the 126 542 0132 number they come up. Maybe you have been living in a cave. They have been around for years and years. I thought they were pretty well know by all except those in Iowa I guess. Anyway I have bought Cruise control amps and such from them several times.

Re: [MBZ] Pol Theatre
Dan, Unfortunately, I've noticed that a lot of the "old guard Republicans" are no more than RINOs. It seems that after JC got his rear kicked by Reagan, a lot of Democrats saw the demographic writing on the wall and switched parties or at least voting patterns. I've seen it a lot here in Georgia. In my view, Boehner, Ryan, McConnell, Romney, and others are really RINOs. Yes, some Republicans these days are too far off the deep end with their "values pitch". But I'm sure some of you, as do I, remember both moderate Democrats and Republicans. They could agree to disagree and move forward without the level of spite and revenge seen in today's politics. I "hope" that some day our politicians can return to some level of working together. Best Wishes, Roger Roger Hale Dinnerware Classics, Inc.

[MBZ] 124 Windows WAS: 124 heater blower and windows, ign switch
I think I have located the problem with the windows. I pulled apart the console cover and the window switch assembly tonight. up by where the ground is, the insulation on the brown wires is melted into a blob. on the right side, there was one length of bare wire hanging out, maybe 20-24 ga (.75 DIN) and more melted insulation. So tomorrow, I will pull out the console, get some wire and have at it. Hopefully,after that is done, the winders will work. There was no rubber ot fabrig left on the flex disk bolts. Apparently the flex disk got hot enough to catch fire and burn off the rubber, and the trans mount looked like it had burned too. I've never heard of either before. It looks like the heat melted insulation on wires in the console area. Not sure what else is ruined. The rear lights appear to work. I suppose the rear speaker wires may be melted, or all speaker wires could be melted together as they all go to the fader. Will have to check those also when in there. I'm thinking an old parallel printer cable might have the right size stranded wire. Wish I had one! Once the windows work, i'll pronounce it roadworthy, and attack the speedo and tach. I have not yet pulled the cluster. Dis T'ing is takin WAY too much time! But it will be on the road agi'n. Prior message: I will have to dig around and find the appropriate wiring diagram. I believe there is a door switch relay that lets you run the windows with the driver's door open, might want to check to see if that switch is shorted. Peter There is a big red/yellow wire near fuses G and H that is supposed to power the windows and other things. It has no volts, switch on or off. I wish I'd brought along my Bosch wiring book. To my recollection red is unswitched Bat+, Red/white is switched Bat+. I think red/Yellow is another form of switched Bat+ Can anyone confirm what Red/Yellow means? Since it is supposed to run from the x4/1 terminal block to the fuse block body, and all the other wires at X4/1 or X4 are red only, maybe it is unswitched also. Answer: Red/yellow is Bat+ , unswitched, but after a relay. Red goes from the X4/1 terminal to the window relay. From the window relay, the red/yellow goes to Fuses G and H. I think I will get a piece of 10 Ga or 8 ga MW wire and run it from X4/1 to the fuse block. That SHOULD get the windows working (or cause a big fire)! ___ 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

Re: [MBZ] Pol Theatre
It occurs to me that we now have a horrible system for auditioning presidential candidates. The name of the job is chief executive (e.g., execute laws made by Congress) and CINC, not chief cheerleader or chief speech-maker or dictator. The media (of course) make it all even worse by trying to turn everything into a soap opera or "reality" show. I find it hard to assess qualities I consider important (character, judgement, integrity, ability, experience) from the crap we get constantly via the media. This is, of course, in addition the media's efforts to influence the outcome by filtering and skewing their coverage. ___ 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

>>> Wilton, I respect your background, but I think you're confusing Trump with the liberals. You know, the ones on college campuses that won't let anyone have an opinion unless it's their progressive opinion, or the news (joke) media who like to label everyone a racist, etc. etc. Just my opinion, but Trump is saying what a lot of middle class, you know the ones that the current administration has been bent on destroying, is thinking or wanting said openly. As you know, political correctness has gone to the point that open discussions aren't really held anymore. Our last AG talked about openly discussing race and then did everything he could to prevent it, or at least make it a one sided discussion.

(not JUST the middle class) One party on the fast (insane) track, the other on the slower (less than insane) track. I think trump is enjoying this too much to turn coat. He has to laugh for days in private every time he goes out and says something that sends the media into a tizzy. On the other hand, Trump has a long record of being bold and successful. That is something no candidate has had since TR. Ike was successful, but I would not classify him as bold. I'd say Ike was successful and studious, and know who to kiss up to and when to kiss. It is trumps boldness, history of success and success in making both the media and the power/money establishment look foolish that the masses of people love! ___ 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

Re: [MBZ] Pol Theatre
His style certainly is not statesmanlike. I can't imagine him as president. Yet he raises issues that need attention from the voters. And nothing that he proposes violates the constitution the way POTUS' actions do. We have in the past cancelled visas retroactively for citizens of certain countries: Iran and certain Saudi student visas. The screening most visa applicants go through now is woefully inadequate. POTUS pontificates about "That's not who we are..." but the core of who we are as a nation is the constitution and the separation of powers that keeps us in balance, not sanctimonious virtue-signalling. And yes, we live in scary times.

Take the whole fuse box out, then you can get to the plug underneath. Don't remember how many screws and where, but the box comes out.

I've had the fusebox out to get to the wiring underneath. It is still out. I don't see any way to release the relay holder part, or the whole thing from the inner fender/firewall. On the Texas 300D, 124, I need to change the bubout relay. On the POSitive, I need to change the window relay. Same problem with both cars.

As much as "they" despise Donald, "they" are scared Sh__less of Ted Cruz. I wanted a walker/cruz ticket. Carley said something stupid yesterday. I can't remember what it was, but it was the first time i've heard her say anything stupid. the pitacky, Chrissy, whazzat ohio guy, Gramnesty, jeb, Mario, (whoever else is left), lap dog/amnesty/open border crowd don't have a chance. Butcha gotta love how Trump has the ability to make the media lap dogs work for him while they try to destroy him! THAT is remarkable. President Reagan was famous for being able to "talk over the media" to reach the people. It was remarkable. I had mixed feelings about Reagan, but time has proven that he was a visionary. Even President Reagan was never able to make the media lap dogs work for him. Some interesting observations in the non-mainstream press about how Ted Cruz is just sitting back and not responding to the Donald's rants, despite the press' efforts to goad him into doing so.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Woodpecker siting
'Dispatched several pigeons with my Crossman several years ago. Haven't needed to for few years now; maybe I got enough of 'em that they don't call this "home" any more. Because of my shaky hands, SWMBO was amazed that I could hit 'em so well from out in the yard as they perched way up on edge of gutters or the widow's walk railing. I told her, "There's no shaking when I lean the gun against a tree or a fence pillar." My fear was that they'd fall onto widow's walk roof or into the gutter, but they'd fly just enough after being hit to clear the house and "crash and burn" in the yard, where I could easily bury them.
