1991 300TE
NOOB needs a little help...
Hi. I was once an addicted diesel junky on some pretty good MB diesel forums. I had an 81 300TDT and 83 240D 5spd. (best car EVER!)
-----------------
OK, now that's out of the way...
I'm back and have a "new to me" 1991 300TE. Have a few minor issues hoping you gurus can help with:
1. Trying to install a new antenna. Where does the original cable split, or is it all one continuous cable from radio to antenna?
2. Bought the car with no windshield washer fluid. Filled it up and warning light went away. but now still doesn't pump fluid. wondering how to test if motors actually working?
3. I need to know where the fuse/relay for the rear wiper/washer is. no manual (yet) and don't know where to start looking.
4. What is that little circular pumpy-thing in the rear of the wagon behind the wheel well panel over the gas filler tube that has a red up/down pump handle on it? (my kid was pumping it last night... hopefully not something he could screw up?)
5. and FINALLY... please help me find out what the heck this rogue plug is for, and if I need to plug it back in somewhere. It's hanging out btwn washer res. and coolant res. I see nothing it would plug into...the other end comes out of one of the belt pulleys on the passenger side.
Thanks guys! really looking forward to getting back to basics with this vehicle. All that's left is to give her a name.
