1983 Mercedes 240D 289,000 - What would cause the actuator to click constantly after I start the car and also with also with just the key turned on? Bad solder joints in the amplifier. Classic.

Re: [MBZ] Cruise control Actuator
Thank you Jim. Every time I try to test something electrical I find don't have the patience or knowledge to test it. I always seem to get the wrong readings or different results each time. It is like if I can't physically see it, I can't comprehend it. Maybe that is why I like magic so much Anyway, I pulled a used actuator from a 1981 380 SEL and installed it in the 240 and it now works great. The only thing I had to switch was the arm that moves the throttle and the mount. It will make the trip from Whitehall to Cincinnati much more enjoyable.

I installed an new, rebuilt amplifier from Rusty and I am still having problems. It engages but acts like the actuator doesn't have the strength to accelerate. If I help it along gently with on the accelerator it works fine. I have cleaned and lubed all of the connections and joints with power steering fluid and if feels nice and free. Any suggestions? I have a diagnosis procedure, see: http://userweb.windwireless.net/~jimc/mamerepairs.html You could try it, let me know what you think. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
