Yes -- 95 E320.
I will check the grounds and voltage regulator during tomorrow morning's oil change.
Earlier on I asked if starting the car with the radio and A/C already in the "on" state could cause enough of a initial voltage drain, under the right conditions, to trigger the events I experienced. Is that sounding at all feasible at this point?
Also, over the past two months or so, I noticed my SRS light will stay illuminated a wee bit longer on *some* startups, which is causing me to suspect that I may have some voltage regulator or battery issues that will soon need to be addressed.
