Also, at least on my 210, all airbag connectors are BRIGHT orange. Everywhere
in the harnesses.

Disconnect the battery ground strap... they don't have an independent
power source do they?

No, but they can potentially go off if dropped or mishandled, at least
according to the manual.

In 1986 our SL's have a switching boost power supply and a capacitor
bank to ensure that there is deployment current during a wreck that
might sever the main battery feed. This stuff is, I believe,
According to the service manual, disconnecting the brains of the system in
the passenger side footwell allows a shorting resistor to come into play to
prevent an unintended discharge of the bag.
At least that was how I understood it.

The airbag controller has an 'umongous capacitor in it to fire the bag
in an accident if all power is lost.
Watch you head position when removing airbag. It is a squib very
unlikely to fire with out power or lotsa static.
Be careful.

On the 92 300E I recently acquired, I had an issue with the wiper that I wanted
to run by the collective list wisdom:
While changing lanes I inadvertently turned the wiper switch on the turn signal
stalk. The wiper came on, but when I turned the switch back to Off it would
not park or shut
I suspect an issue with the stalk switch, or possibly the contacts in
the wiper motor that tell the motor when the arm is in the parked
position. I haven't had a chance to consult the service manual, but
will be later today.
Gettin' a bit new for me, but on an '86 SL I found that somebody
I have a 96 C280 that had a monowiper with similar issues. It ultimately
deteriorated to being unable to stop the wiper blade without turning off
the car. I tried replacing the combination switch a couple of times (you
would think that I would learn, but this happened over the course of
several
Thanks for that link, Bob.
I will check out the N10 relay (which my car does have, and it is responsible
for the wiper system) and report back.

I would try Jim Cathey's suggestion, I've fixed two different stalks by
cleaning with a good contact cleaner. One issue on a 123 car was identical to
yours, a problem on my 124 car was lack of high beam flash.
On the 123 stalk I had to take it completely apart as the contacts I cleaned
were
Were you able to do it in situ, or did you have to pull it from the column?
I hate the idea of having to pull the steering wheel, air bag, etc.
I have plenty of the good contact cleaner...

I pulled the 123 stalk, but it could have been done in situ. End cap can be
pried off. 124 was in situ, simply exposed the contact switch at the base and
sprayed it off.
I don't know if a 124 stalk has an end cap you can pry off; little parts
inside, be careful not to lose any...

I don't think you'd need to pull the bag and steering wheel.

Good.
I haven't had a chance to look at the stalk/steering column closely yet, as I'm
just doing the Mercedes Martha Stewart thing right now.
Placed an order with Rusty, too. It's good to be back.
