Because his problem is intermittent, he could have a faulty or out of adjustment switch. In any case, no need to run to the dealer. The connector is a bit difficult to spot as it has a cover which must be lifted. But if you can count "blinks", you can find the problem.

Jubie,
The "blinks" Tecqboy is talking about are from the homebrew tool you have to build. Not blinks from the top activation switch. The 90-94 R129's have an analog fault code system. You hook the tool up to the code output module (under a square cover, right side of engine comparment, firewall), press the button (on the tool) and count the number of blinks. You then have to compare that number to a trouble shooting chart for the top.
