MY MERCEDES BENZ 1992 190E IS HAVING COLD START ISSUES AND IN GENERAL STALLING ISSUES. I JUST RECEIVED A JUMP BY MERCEDES AND MINUTES LATER THE BATTERY DIED AFTER ONLY PARKING IT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. I HEAR THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER USERS OF MERCEDES BENZ WHO ARE HAVING HARNESS WIRING ISSUES AND THIS HAS TO DEFINITELY BE MY PROBLEM AS I CAN SEE OTHER ELECTRICAL FAULTS OCCURING SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH MY AIR AND HEATING, WARNING LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS, WINDOWS, ETC. MERCEDES…

ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE AFTER OVERNIGHT PARKING. WHEN I ACTIVATED IGNITION THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION UNDER THE HOOD WHICH BLEW OFF MOST OF THE INSULATION LINING AND IGNITED A FIRE AROUND THE AIR INTAKE COVER. *AK I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH FAILED. THIS AND THE FULE PUM WERE REPLACED BUT NOW VEHICLE WILL INTERMITENTLY ACCELERATE WHEN IDLING AND OR MOVING AT AROUND 25MPH.
