      @deadwaitdesigns thanks for the response. It was said that summit changed a design feature before using this type. According to holley, the 4010 / 4011 didn't sell well since they didn't look like a traditional holley carb. I've also heard there was a flaw in the design when built by holley. I happen to like the design. Thanks again.

      @@nickspagnoletti2015 easy way to check if you have a multimeter is to take the bulb out, set the meter to 20v dc, and connect one prong to hot side of the socket and the other to a good ground, probably the bumper. If you’re getting 12 volts with the switch on, then it’s a bulb or connection issue. If you’re not getting anything, then you’d have to look further up the line.

      I always thought it was only me with these kind of problems. Back in 2022 I bought a 1991 Mercedes 560SEL W126. When we were on the way to go see the car we got a flat tire on the highway which was already a sign that I should avoid buying the Mercedes. We bought it and it started with problems on day one. Every time I tried to take it to a mechanic, another thing would pop up so I would have to reschedule the trip to the mechanic. Anyway I never got to fix it. I sold the car a month ago, when I posted the car on marketplace, the car started falling apart all at once, starter went out, rear passenger window stopped working, car wouldn’t lock, I mean everything at once. I hope the new owner is happy with it now, the guy had four other W126’s so I am sure he knows what he’s doing.

    I have a 1976 Cadillac Seville with bucket seats where the passenger side power seat works but the driver's side six way power seat doesn't work. It clicks when I operate the switch, but the motor will not move. The courtesy lights at night dim when I attempt to operate the power seat switch. I tried spraying penetrating oil on all four bolts and nuts I could see under the seat. It started to work intermittently. But, after spraying the front bolts and nuts which were rusty, it stopped working. The ground wire with the round end that is supposed to bolt on to the floor I couldn't find. Does this sound like a motor problem or relay problem? Or just a ground problem? Sincerely Yours, Duane Wong Somerset, PA.

    I had a similar problem with one of the rear windows in my 1977 Olds 98 sedan. The motor was OK, but nothing moved. So, I covered every moving part I could reach with WAY too much grease; it was dripping out of the drain holes. I just left it for a week or two, and the next time I tried it, it freed up and from then on it was the fastest, smoothest, of the 4 windows. That door also stayed rust-free, unlike the driver's door. Sometimes, the quick, dirty fix is the best one.
