I just checked with my local Sprinter dealership. A service manual IS available for my Sprinter, for $185.00 on CD ROM. UGH! I am thinking of making the investment, but I will never rebuild the tranny or pull the engine. I am just looking for information about the wiring and venting systems, etc., so that when something stops working, I know where to look for the trouble.
Right now I am wondering which wire(s) to use for two projects. I want to put electric locks on my under-bed tool boxes so they will lock when the ignition is turned off, and I want to know which wire(s) to hook into when I add some simple switches to my console for my work lights, rotators and so forth. My friend found the switches in a wrecking yard for ... FREE!!!! You can't beat that.
Also, I am still trying to figure out how the head liner comes out of my cab. I don't want to break any of the little plastic finger-thingys that hold everything together. My Sprinter has a sun roof (or MOON roof, for the left-coast types ) but I cannot figure out how the inside plastic retainer comes off. I have tried prying, pushing and pulling, and slipping a shim underneath to catch some release clip or something, but it simply won't come off!
Also, is the roof of my cab DOUBLE-walled? In other words, if I drill through the roof to mount my lightbar , will I have to go through TWO layers of sheet metal, or is the roof panel a single layer with ribbed reinforcement?
