1999 E240 central lock and interior light strange behaviour

[raymond leung]

I just acquired an 1999 E240. The central lock and interior light of it behave strangely. The lock locks and unlocks together with the interior light coming on and off unexpectedly, especially when the car is making a sharp turn. I am suspecting the rocking motion might be the culprit. Any idea how and where I can start tracking down the issue?

That is caused by one of your doors not pressing the light switch in enough. Search in this forum for a work-around on using a coin or a fix on how to adjust it.

Kobus, Thanks very much. Will give it a try today.

usually the driver's side door will be the first to exhibit this
