…it’s only my TRIP odometer that stopped working…. I’d bet it’s in the mechanism for resetting it—that is, pushing the button IN to reset the TRIP odometer to 00000….. now jammed at 190.1 or so …. and pushing doesn’t do anything. …
MAIN odometer & speedometer DOEs work as usual. ‘haven’t opened ‘er up and eyeballed it yet. THANKS for the insight here.
…by the way…just in case you’re reading this and had experience with the FUEL gauge also….I specifically can tell you…that stopped working once when I had instrument panel out (for other purposes—as if I brushed against something??)
…it doesn’t work by: being “over” to the right…such that “full” down to about 1/3rd acts normally….but it stops at 1/3rd …
in other words, it could read 1/3rd and be empty. ….
setting trip odometer, thus, becomes quite handy, as I always do…until a few days ago when that stopped working. Peace. Out. 240D 1983 380K 4 speed manual…a beauty mechanically.
Have dielectric grease on hand ... it is NOT conductive .... after reassembling things, put dielectric grease, lightly, over everything....might cut down corrosion happening so fast again ....'thanks for idea from well known source of Mercedes info, elsewhere.
I have a "mystery" starting motor problem and hope re-newing ground and power connections fix it, instead of the solution being the whole starter motor replacement.
For 10-50-sometimes 100 start ups, everything's fine ... but then, usually after engine is hot and I've driven awhile, then stop, turn engine off...then it acts as if there's a "dead" spot on a copper wires winding set-up ..... it always DOES start... I just try it about 20 seconds later...once, twice, usually no more than 3 or 4 times, then it starts up normally. ......... I've replaced my battery GROUND cable--that's easy to get to....the power cable to the starter motor is next.
