1995 sl-320 Hardtop alarm.

I have a sl-320 with a problem. When you go over a tarstrip or pothole---the alarm goes off 4-dings and the light on the controller switch lights up. Local dealer and MB-indys can not fix it. All top fuctions work fine. All contacts have been cleaned. Very strange problem. Any ideas? Thank you.

Long shot....There are a pair of "roll-over" switches on the rear axle. One on each side of the car. Very visible from underneath. They are there to activate and deploy the roll bar in case of a roll over, but often a hard bump will set them off. The roll bar controller is part of the system which operates the soft top. Check them for position and operation. Does the roll bar raise and lower via the console switch?

sl-320 top gong or alarm.

Thanks for your post to my problem. The roll-bar does not deploy when you hit a bump. It functions fine with it's sw. It is sad that the dealer could not the issue with their computer-----they ran all codes then sctrached their head and gave me a bill. I wish someone could tell where the "gong" is so I could bypass it. All other functions work great. Any more input would be great. 1995-SL-320
