Do you know the last time the coolant has been changed? If not, flush and refill with MB coolant.

You will have to read the code for the SRS light, and you should really get it fixed, your airbags may not work in an accident, worst case scenario they go off while you are driving and cause an accident.

When was the transmission last serviced? If you cannot answer this, it's time. 9 Quarts Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF, and an MB filter/seal kit.

for the door locks- open ur trunk take the carpeting on the right side down. find the yellow vacuum tubes and where they all meet together there is probably one that popped off the connector. if this isnt the case u may need a new vacuum pump(if one of the tubes is popped off ull hear the pump in the trunk trying to lock the doors for like 5 seconds, if u dont the pumps dead), or you may have a leak in the line behind your dash which sucks to get at.
