[W126 Coupe] shorted

[Dawid Loubser]

Completely off-topic, but if you *do* draw the diagram, for heaven's  
sake, don't torture yourself with Paint,
use something like Inkscape (http://inkscape.org/) - a free (open- 
source) vector graphics editor.

MS Paint is the worst graphical editor imaginable. You'll thank me  
later :-)
