You've got yourself a beautiful classic "G" ... enjoy! BTW, you're missing the tow pin for the front bumper. Guido always has some good G ...

SOLD: I need to make space for an inbound ex-Bundeswehr Mercedes G-wagen so my Pinz 712M needs to go. I'm located in Calgary, Alberta and the Pinz is registered for road use in Alberta. My asking price is CDN$ 16,500 so, what with the exchange rate between Canadian and US dollars, it's a genuine ...

The circuit breaker did pop (or trip) and I did reset it by pushing it in again. Do these circuit breakers fail (resetting it still leaves an open circuit)? I think it's safe to say there's a short somewhere; I just don't know if it's in the turn signal switch, the micro switch for the brake lights ...

Hi,

My name is Arie and I'm new to this forum and Pinz ownership. My 712M is giving me grief with electrical problems in that I now don't have turn signals, brake lights or headlight hi-beams. When my turn signals went south, I had the steering at full lock and I saw a little arc flash down to left ...
