Dear Hillbillypork,
You will need to find your rear light harness.
Most American cars have them inside the trunk, so they stay dry and "unsalted".
I do not remember where MB puts theirs.
Once you find the harness, take an electric meter to identify the correct wires for your converter.
Usually inside the trunk it the best place for the splices and the converter.
You may have to make a hole somewhere to pass the wires from the inside to the outside.
When I do, I caulk it.
God bless your efforts.

Hey Bryan

I've got them for Six and Four wire plugs

Six wire plugs:

Horse, stock or utility trailers:
White = Ground - GD
Yellow = Left turn/Brake -LT
Green = Right turn Brake -RT
Brown = Tail and clearance lights - TM
Red or Black (not both) = Battery, aux power - A
Blue = Electric Brakes - S

Recreational Vehicle: (color, use, plug mark)
White = Ground - GD
Yellow = Not used -
Brown = Right turn Brake - RT
Green = Tail and clearance lights -TM
Black = Battery, aux power - A
Red = Left turn/Brake - LT
Blue = Electric Brakes - S


Four wire plugs:
White = Ground
Yellow = Left turn/Brake
Green = Right turn Brake
Brown = Tail and clearance lights


Ground should be 10ga.
Others 14 ga

Best regards
Mike

The Turbo Charger does not seem to engage .I was led to believe that after around 30 miles per hr. it would be like haveing a passing gear. Oh yes the car is a 1984 Nercedes SD 300 series Desiel.

The turbo charger has more to do with rpms than road speed.The turbo uses exhaust gas leaving the engine to push more fresh air into the engine thus creating higher compression and more horse power.You should feel some boost above 1500 rpms if everything is working properly.If not then you should have the system checked by a dealer or a good diesel shop.Good Luck!

1983 mercedes 300d turbo diesel automatic electrical problem

There is a junction block about 6 inches in front of the battery on the fender, there should be battery voltage on the big wires. The small wire is the starter solenoid. Front the junction block, the power goes to the light switch then to the ignition switch.

Good Luck

Your turn signals and hazards operate on the same circuit...... thats why you lost turn signals when you snipped the wires behind the hazard switch...

Model: 300D TURBO-DIESEL, YR:1985, Heating air blower not working

Hello, This system has a few components that can cause this. You may have a bad temp regulator box, located behind the glove box, or a bad temp sensor, at center of the dash, or a bad pushbutton unit, (climate control panel}
If you pull out your glove box, make sure that the foam hose that connects your temp sensor to the hard black tube is connected. This provides airflow across the sensor so it can work properly.

If you find this information to be correct would you please enter a "fixya" rating.
Thanks, Gator241

1991 300d 6cly turbo no instrument lights

I would first check the fuses in the engine compartment and repair / update if necessary. Also, this model is notorious for have solder connectons being burned open behind the instrument pnl. Carefully remove the instrument paneland verify connections and/or repair them.
