I own a 84 300SD with a Sony (non OEM) CD player. It used to be, on occasion, but now consistently, that when I start the car there is either no speaker volume or very low volume coming from the speakers. When the problem just began I noticed that at night as I was parking, when I turned the headlight switch off, no sound would come from the spreakers for about 5 seconds, then they would come back on again. Now, day or night, no sound comes from them, unless I turn on the lights.

Is there a cure for this problem, without purchasing another stereo (OEM)? I'm sure I've read that MB stereo systems are a little peculiar, is there some way to resolve this apparant electical problem?

I appreciate this forum, I just became a member but have been reviewing and benfiting from the wisdom, for a few months now.
