What's up...I just bought my '91 3000 SL here a few weeks ago on April 11th. It's one of my dream cars and I'm so happy to have it. It's all-in-all a great car....when it's running haha. Here's a picture of it.
Sorry, it such a horrible picture....took it with my cell.
First day I brought it, took it home....drove perfectly fine. Let my best friend take it for test run around town. Went to leave his place at 2-3:00 in the morning and ended up having to push it back to his place in the POURING rain. That was fun.
My mechanic at the time took a look at it and diagnosed the problem down to a blown fuse.....ok, that's not a problem. He also took notice that my car has an after-market alarm system in it that's not hooked up....AND there's a toggle switch under the dash. He claims that it's a power off switch. If I flip it off...it completely powers off the engine. Does anyone else have that to? I've never heard of it??? Well anyhow, either me or my friend had bumped that switch with our knee. I got it back and it drove perfect. I drove it around for about a week/week and a half. I was insanely STUPID and left my parking lights on AAALL day while I was at work....9 hours. Had a few co-workers try to help me jump it...none of them knew what they were doing and kept hooking it up wrong. One guy even went so far as to put + on - and - on +. Nice. Fast forward to me getting the battery charged. Blown fuse. Fixed. Not a problem.
Ok, as of right now, it runs perfect. BUT....my headlights will not pop up. They will turn on...but not pop up. And, my power antenna will not go up. My mechanic is in the process of trying to figure that out as we speak. Any tips of what it could be?
