Weird, but true: I discovered this problem on my 86 560SL soon after I bought it. Cause: Kickdown switch wire to the transmission solenoid trapped between the transmission pan and body of the transmission, cutting through the insulation and grounding the wire to the transmission. Last service at: MB dealer. Your car might be wired differently but this still might be worth a look.
