Hello all,

I just bought a 2000 S500 and I love the car. I have a couple of questions about the car and was hoping someone could help me.

1. When I put the key in the ignition and turn it, should the check engine light come on? I know that after you start the car, it will off, but before I start it, it doesn't come on. I took the instrument cluster out because I thought it was a bad bulb, but when I pulled the bulb holder out, I found that it didn't have a bulb. It was just a black piece of plastic that covers the hole. I bought a new bulb and installed it, but the engine light still doesn't come on?

Any idea why the engine light doesn't come on?

2. The door lock and soft close doesn't work for my left rear door. I did a search and found that it could be a pump, but all the posts I read stated that all the door locks didn't work or all the soft close doors didn't work. Could it still be a bad pump if only 1 door is affected?

BTW, this is a great site with a lot of info. You guys are awsome.

Thanks
