1996 E 320 SRS Dash Light? Door Lock?

[David3benz]

I have a 1996 E 320 that I am getting a Dash light for the SRS system. Are there any reasonably easy checks I can make of this without danger of setting off the airbags?

Also on the same car, the drivers door key lock turns without functioning. The only way I can lock and unlock it is with the trunk lock. The key seems to turn exceptionally easily in the door but does nothing.
Thanks

For the door cylinder, my '96 E came to me with a nonfunctional one. I removed the cylinder from the door (one bolt) and there was a pin missing (probably broken and sitting in the door) that turned the shaft. I used a small cotter pin from the hardware store and now all is well. The single bolt holding the cylinder in place is accessible by pulling a bit of the door seal out of its groove. There is no need to pull the interior door panel.

What's wrong with your keyless entry system? It took me a while to notice that my lock cylinder was inoperative.

As for the SRS light, I have no idea.

Thanks for the response, I removed the screw a allen headed one but the cylinder still won't come out. Any further suggestions?

Thanks
