merk,.. very interested in this post as regards the welding gear you used,..was it a gas rig or a mig welder,..if you used a mig was there any precautions you took apart from the risk of fire,. for example,.did you disconnect any of the ecu's,did you disconnect the battery,did you do anything else,etc,..i have some welding to do on my w210 shortly and intend to use my mig but do not want to risk damage to any of the electronics,..thanks

always disconnect the battery before using any kind of welder that requires you to earth the welder to the car. either that or go out and buy a surge protctor. either will protect alternator and other important delicate and expensive electrical components from damage from voltage spikes. trust me. i ruined an alternator on an Escort a few years back, so speak from experience!
