There is another video of him testing the starter of the Pagoda.

Too bad he didn't know about the access from the trans tunnel.

The videos on the 300 SEL 6.3 are very interesting and relevant.

Naj, I wonder why one of the fuses didn't burn out, when she touched metal with the electric switch? I don't understand why  it would blow the whole wiring harness. That is what our fuses are for. Seems like a big job for the wiring harness replacement.

I believe there is an unfused live wire on the light switch
