Since I don't have anything else to worry about
... for a while. Now that my W123 has died.
Seem to be having a mixed up issue with the courtesy lamps in the back on the 95 W24 E320 wagon I just bought a few weeks back. Something I missed noticing when inspection the thing or its intermittent... Yea.. I can't find anything else worse to worry about so I might as well start on this. Sometimes the courtesy lamps in the back will turn on and stay on for a few minutes, then eventually turn themselves off. This is after doors are closed, crank and drive off... and on they go.. then they turn themselves off. This was with the passenger courtesy lamp switch in middle (off) position. I also noticed the other day that they would come on when I CLOSED the door. And this time the switch was in the "on when doors open, off when closed" position. And they stayed on while I watched them for over 5 minutes so I went in and moved the switch to the "off" position and they went out when I closed the door then. Not that it should matter but I will mention I had had the doors open for a long time while I was doing some detailing before I noticed this. Something to start figuring out I guess. First thoughts are the switch itself? And other ideas? The only other thing that doesn't work in this car is the power headrests but that was noted on inspection before I bought the car. So thats not really on my list of worries. But would like to start figuring out these courtesy lamps I think. Oh and main wiring harness good but not done much looking at any others outside those inside the hood. TIA
