Need some advice
Just bought a 90 W201 2.6 105K Runs and drives great. Couple of things I would like to know. The climate controls do not light at night. The low coolant light comes on (kinda dim) even though the coolant level is fine. Also cant seem to get heat out of the floor vents. Def works. And I do get hot air.I finally got the center vents to quit blowing out cold air! Also rear def is not working. But LOVE
the car. 2 owner in outstanding condition. Also is there a trunk light?
Thanks for any help.
2007 is going to be a great year!!

1) There are bulbs that illuminate the climate control buttons via fiber optic inside the CC unit.
2) The coolant level sensor is the round plugged in device located at the bottom of the overflow resevoir, give that a check and/or cleaning.
3) No heat from the floor vents might be signs that the vacuum valve for the duct has failed in the shut mode. It could be the controller or the vacuum line to the valve. If you're getting heat from the front window defroster and the left and right dash vents, then the heater core is getting coolant from the radiator. There's never any heated air from the center console vents . . . unless the system is broken.
4) Yes, there is a trunk light, it's just a bare bulb located in a cutout in the center of the trunk lid closer to the latch mechanism.
