#678 of 766 Re: Trunk Release for 1985 280 SL [dwilson2] by theroadster May 01, 2006 (3:32 pm)
Replying to: dwilson2 (Feb 06, 2006 4:00 pm) Dave, If you take a flat crowbar, slide it up )the end with the hook) above the trunk key button while you have the key inserted and turned counterclockwise and depressed to where it normally should open it will release like you effected it with a key ...my battery died as a result of leaving a parking light on overnight - after posting here and getting no response, I used the crow bar again...With the battery in the trunk dead and the activator of the trunk lid key opener non-functional because of the need for battery power, I do not believe that you have any alternative but to use a crowbar...Also, Important: make sure that you have unlocked the front door(s)before trying to unlock & open the trunk...If you know a better method I'd like to hear from you...I'm at peterabbaart.com. Circumvent this forum because it sent me an e-mail for the latest post, and I still can't figure out why I never got directed to your earlier Feb post using a search term which included the word "trunk" for basically the identical request, other than our models being different.

#679 of 766 Looking For an SL by dispencer1 May 19, 2006 (6:48 pm)
I rode in a friend's 560SL the other day and thought it would be nice to get rid of my 2000 Mustang convertible and all the associated stuff and look for either a 560SL or a 1990 300SL with the newer body. Has anyone had any experience with the 300 ? I'd use the car as a "show" car -detailing it and just using it on weekends. It wouldn't be a daily driver. I put about 300 miles a year on the Mustang. Which would be more dependable -the 560 or the 300? I'd look for a garaged one from the original owner with service records -I don't buy "beaters". I haven't sat in a 300. I liked the 560 because it didn't have a cab forward design with the windshield slanting over your head or the sun visors hitting your forehead. How is the 300 windshield? Any help that can help me make up my mind would be greatly appreciated.
#680 of 766 SL Redesign by martyw May 21, 2006 (7:21 pm)
I was wondering when the SL is going to be totally redesigned, not just tweaked or freshened. Anybody know??? Replies to this message: merc1 (May 21, 2006 8:30 pm)

Replying to: martyw (May 21, 2006 7:21 pm) Best guess is like 2010.   M

I have a 99 SL500. From time to time, I get the indicator light saying I have a light out. I have checked all the lights I can think of an can not find one bad. Any way to check why I am getting this light or which one is causing it? Raysl500 Replies to this message: laxatl1 (May 31, 2006 9:01 am)
#683 of 766 Re: warning light by laxatl1 May 29, 2006 (4:42 am)
Replying to: shoes (Nov 24, 2003 10:44 am) I just bought a 1999 sl500 w/o the owners manual. What does the warning light that is an explantion point surrounding by little marks mean? It only comes on when the headlights are on so I figured it had something to do with the lights, but all lights are working

Replying to: raysl500 (May 27, 2006 8:03 pm) I have the same trouble. did you ever find out what that warning means?
