My 1995 S320 suddenly developed these problems ? all at once


1 Central locking does not work with key or remote or inside lock switch on console
2 When you open trunk the small lift handle does not pop out
3 When you open the front door ( or others) the foot lights do not come on
4 No rear seat light operate and no trunk light
5 When you turn on the rear reading lamp it turns on the front overhead console lights adn not the reading lamp
6 When you turn the engine off the key buzzes without the door being open
7 Sometimes there is a stuttering sound from the starter when you start the engine
8 The front center console light stay on after you manually turn them off for a short period as if you had opened the door and closed it.
9 There is a clicking noise in the right glove box area sort of a relay sound
10 The right front door is not closing very smoothly at the 2 normal hold open areas and is a little noisy Any ideas from anyone. My mechanic seems flustered.

In much simpler M-B models there's a "seat belt warning device" which connects the doors, ignition, overhead light, headlights ON and seat belt warning buzzer. Your model is more sophisticated and so adds to the former. Anyway, I suggest you consider that device or its equivalent as the starting point for this investigation.

Suggest you focus on the seat belt warning device. It's wired into many of the components you mention.
