Door switch problem?
My 2003 E320 wagon has started acting like one of the front doors is open when it turns right or it goes over a large bump. The doors unlock and the dome lights turn on. I am hoping that this is just a switch problem. How do I check this? Thanks.

pull the switch and clean it...adjust so that it sits out further. hope that
does the trick. if not, the switch is < $20. no big. this is a chronic problem
with MB cars for some reason. yes, the symptoms include door un/locking
at speed, interior lights not working properly, turn signals might not blink
when locking via the remote....
one way to quickly test. stick some masking tape or other...at the end
of the door pin. building it up, so to speak. close door and see if it functions
properly. if so, it might support the fact that door pin needs to be adjusted
outwards.
