I love station wagons, who doesn't really? A few years ago I bought a '90 Mercedes 300TE. It didn't run, and only had 134k KMs (83k miles). It's an ex-Japan car, but it's left hand drive. I finally got around to getting it to the shop, we got it running and sorted out some issues it had. But there is a mystery light on on the dashboard. All the manuals I have for it are in Japanese, so I watched some youtube videos etc trying to figure out what exactly this light is, but it makes no sense.
The spot on the dash that is lit up is supposed to be the SRS light. But 1. there is no factory lettering over the spot to say what it's supposed to be, just like the spot beside it that is supposed to be for the 4Matic service light, so it makes sense that it's not labeled as this car doesn't have 4Matic and 2. This car never came with airbags (SRS). You could get airbags as an option on these cars, but mine didn't have them. I pulled the horn cover off the steering wheel just to make sure - nope, never had an airbag, and has a non-airbag horn cover.
So, my airbag light is on, on a car that doesn't have airbags. And isn't even labeled for airbags. The only other thing that doesn't work on this car are the dash lights. I know it's a long shot (24 year old ex-Japan car) but does anyone have any idea what is going on with this thing?
