Experts needed, 300ce project underway
here are some problems I am having with my 88' 300ce (m103)
Any common fixes for these problems would be appreciated
1) no climate control, no power/reaction of any sort when pressing the buttons (I removed the unit)
2)spark jumping from new bosch copper wires on one cylinder (Currently have bosch platinum +4 plugs, i know theyre not the right ones p/o did it)
3) random misfire all the time, takes very long to start
4) intermittent car alarm, sometimes itll go off and wont stop till i unplug the unit, even with locking and unlocking doors etc.
5) passenger side seatbelt automated arm (the thing that hands you the seatbelt) wont go out anymore,(it did when i bought the car)
6) Any info on front bucket seat removal (disconnection points of pneumatic/hydraulic lines, and electrical connections) I bought some nice recaros for it.
thanks

1. Where are you located? I have a push button control unit I can sell you for $60 plus shipping, that should work out your climate control issue.
2. Don't know what you are asking
3. Check the OVP relay, spark plugs and WIRES.
4. Is it aftermarket?
5. Check fuses? Perhaps it's the motor?
6. cant help here...

I had to replace the alarm control unit in my 300CE. It's located in the passenger footwell.
5) passenger side seatbelt automated arm (the thing that hands you the seatbelt) wont go out anymore,(it did when i bought the car)
Can you hear the seatbelt extender motor running?
