* Speedometer light is not working
* Horn is not working
* Sometimes fuel gauge does not work, but after a good "tapping" it comes to life
* Passenger headrest does not work
* Belt occasionly squeeks on ignition, but only sometimes and usually quits when put in reverse or drive

I think that about covers it, i have checked all fuses (although i couldn't find a listing for a horn fuse..?)and they seem to be in good working condition. Any advice is well apretiated.

Hey Everyone,

I'd just like to throw a quick update at you and thank everyone for their help. The speedo light just needed a new bulb. The belt tensioner needs replacement (hence the squeek only on start up)..apparantly the tensioner contraption has some small rubber pieces that need replacement regularly on w202's. Fuel gauge just had a bad connection..was unplugged and plugged when the speedo light was changed. The SRS airbag light is still on, and i think is somehow related to the horn not working. ( i checked fuse and it is O.K.). The technician (who does not work for MB) said the diagnostic machine for the srs light came up with a faulty spring and that would be a couple hundred dollar fix..YIKES. anyway..thanks for your input. -Adam
