Re: [MBZ] turn signal issue

That I don’t recall, but if it’s not being used regularly, that is, the hazard switch, it can cause issues with the flashing function, which is a part of the switch function itself. I’ll hold back on my thoughts from there and defer to Jim. -D > On Oct 19, 2023, at 12:07 PM, Randy Bennell via

We’re both getting at the source of the flashing function - the hazard switch. -D > On Oct 19, 2023, at 11:55 AM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes > wrote: > >> If it were you, where would you start looking? > > Is the hazard function working properly? Same flasher, IIRC. > Hazard switch can get dirt

[MBZ] turn signal issue

My car - 1976 W115 300D started exhibiting turn signal issues this morning. The lights flash way too fast. I would normally think a bulb had gone bad but all appear to light which makes me think there is a bad ground somewhere. If it were you, where would you start looking? Randy __

Re: [MBZ] Turn Signal Issue

Very serviceable. You will need a small file and some care. Unscrew the stalk from the steering shaft. Figure out which end is not holding, and then very carefully file the thing a bit deeper until the stalk stays, but is not trapped there. Did it with Gump and she is fine now On Jul

Re: [MBZ] Turn Signal Issue

R A, the fix is to remove the stalk and using a small rattail file file out the 'notch' that holds the stalk in the up position. DWS R A Bennell wrote: > My 76 300D has an issue with the turn signal stalk. If I want to turn left, > it works as it should. If I want to > turn right, I have to hold

Re: [MBZ] Turn Signal Issue

There is a rather straightforward procedure to remove the stalk and file the detent with a small triangular file to regain the "hold", but as I haven't done this in 20 years I can only misinform you if I try to remember the details... BTW, this is a VERY common problem in 108, 109, and W 114/115 c

[MBZ] Turn Signal Issue

My 76 300D has an issue with the turn signal stalk. If I want to turn left, it works as it should. If I want to turn right, I have to hold the lever up as it wants to drop back to the center position. Is this adjustable in some manner if I were to pull the wheel or is it a sign that something is
