Gotta love the free fixes

Well, I fiddled around with the car for the first time today. Just a little looking over things and I got some benefit.

Rear drivers side door opens and closes. The seller said it didn't work. I believed them. I tried pulling on the door lock stem and low and behold it was just a little stuck. So now that door is working.

I pulled the dash gauge panel out to mess with the bulbs. Tested one and it worked. So I fiddled with the rheostat until I got everything on the dash nice and bright.

I also pulled the ceiling light near the rear view mirror. Glued a broken piece together and it is working fine.

I searched all over the car hoping whoever removed the driver door stem swich had left it. Nope. Still need to find one.

I had been wondering why this car didn't have a safety brake and while under the dash I found it. Cool!

Now I just need a bulb for the trunk light fixture. Can't find any light source under the hood. I guess I need to order that trunk bulb from Mercedes since it has that special plastic housing. Can you just put a new bulb in the plastic housing?

Went to the salvage yard today and didn't find anything so ebay it is.
