Electrical and Instruments / Re: Emergency hazard switch - testing and fitting

« Last post by DavidAPease on Today at 16:33:26 »

Hi, Katie,

I, too, have a 230SL and have purchased one of these switches.  I've studied the wiring diagram and understand how they connect to the existing wiring.  However, building the wiring harness with the correct plugs is somewhat challenging, including sourcing the connectors.

I believe that our member Leonardo Peterssen (lpeterssen) has offered to make them (for a price, of course).  Just another option...

I think you may try search on the forum. Type “hard top rack” or “hard top suport” or “hard top trolley”.’

Katie, please post a picture with pin connectors numbers.

I would also look for a cart that includes a cover. You want to put a cover on the top when you store it away.

Hi Katie,
your new hazard switch should have following terminals:
New                                                                                                Old
15:   + ignition switch                                                                      (15 - black/red/green)
30:   + battery                                                                                 (30 - red/blue/white)*
31:   - battery/ground                                                                     (31 - brown)
49a: flasher (exit, clocked)                                                              (54 - black/white/green)
R:     flashing light right                                                                    (R - black/green)*
L:     flashing light left                                                                       (L - black/white)*
The new switch/relay replaces the old flasher relay (wire colours may vary).
* flasher plug
BUT: Differences such as 230-250-280, US - Europe, manual transmission - automatic transmission, etc. can lead to differences in circuit diagrams, pin assignments and cable colours.

Electrical and Instruments / Emergency hazard switch - testing and fitting

« Last post by Merc_Girl on Today at 14:25:35 »

Hi folks

Me again!?!?

So, I’ve recently purchased a period (I have an early Pagoda), what I would name as a ‘hazard warning switch’.
Slight flaw in my plan is that I don’t know how if it works or indeed how to wire it in, so only minor problems!?!?!?

So, to summarise, I’m calling out to all electrical pagoda gurus out there to :
a) advise how I can test to see if the system still works
b) how can I hard wire it in? (I’ve looked on the wiring diagram in the technical manual but couldn’t see a reference to hazard warning switch

As always, any advice greatly welcomed 🥰

I don’t know that there’s much difference between the various ones out there for sale from various vendors at different prices. In fact I’d bet many are identical from the same manufacturer, branded differently and sold at different price points. The one I bought, which is fine, is by URO.

the fuel pump has been rebuilt, the injection pump is working fine, so I don´t know what to do.

What you do is work with facts, not assumptions. You got good advice and hopefully you found the problem.  If the flow rate is still low, let us know.  You can also search the forums or look in the Tech Manual for measuring frel pressure.

An email notification was sent out, on 15 November - it also included a call to vote for the new board members.

I had to go back and check.  I huess I saw that voting was open and then closed the message.  Didn't bother to scroll down!
