I would start by not flooring it. Big Grin

The right way to fix it is clean up all your ground connections. The wrong way to fix it is to unplug your kickdown switch.

Probably 15% of the time when I roll down the driver's window it momentarily shuts the radio off

-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

Also my wiper blades work sometimes, and when they don't I can hear a wining noise in my dash? I love this car to death, but the little things that are alway wrong with it get under my skin Dodgy

the motor for the wipers is in front of the firewall. Under the panel that's between those vented spots in front of the windshield.
idk how you can get in there without destroying the body and stuff.
maybe the motor is crapping out. Maybe the motor is turning but the blade mechanics are somehow not connected. Like a loose set screw.

Rusted out beat down 300d turbo 82' -- RIP
Nice body, tons of ridiculous mechanical issues - 300d turbo 82' /motor 85'

All right, I'm going to call your Mothers and have them slap you around until you go outside and:

-Replace your fuses with copper/brass ones and clean the contacts

-Clean your ground connections up behind the dash, under the hood, in the trunk, (and others I forget)


Seriously. I suffered from weird crap until I got the one in the trunk refreshed, then it all went away.

Trunk lid is for your trunk light, the grounds are under the plastic liners (I think the driver's side)
