W210 plip sequence with warning flashing
Hi guys.
I have a concern about closing with plip on my W210 avantgarde from 2001. Following a door dismantling, the car closes well with the plip but does not confirm by turning on the turn signals. However it flashes well three times at opening. In addition, when I drive and I pass the fateful 10 or 20 km / h which allow it to lock the doors, the central locking closes, opens, closes, etc. as a result of poor contact. Which organ should I control in your opinion?

try reading a few of the threads under "Door lock, phantom un/locking"
what is pretty common with the door switch pins is that they wear down.
you can test by taping a small coin on a spot OPPOSITE the switch (on
the door). it will serve as a shim.
now test the door un/locking, as well as drive around. do this for each door
and report back. more often than not, it is the driver door as it is the one used
most of all.
the cost for such a fix can be the price of the tape and coin. here in the USA
the cost of a switch is about $20 USD and can be replaced replaced at home.
