Just bought my first MB yesterday - it's a beautiful '01 SLK 230 roadster with 82K miles for $17500. Hope it's a decent deal. Everything seems to be in good shape. Here are the 2 problems that I've had and hopefully someone can share their wisdom:

1. The switch to lock/unlock the doors and the remote do not consistently lock/unlock the doors. The switch in the vehicle works occasionally and the remote makes the lights blink consistently but the locks do not actually engage/disengage consistently - works sometimes and doesn't at other times. Any ideas?

2. Just today, I noticed that the fog lights in the front come on at random times even when the car is off and keys are sitting in my kitchen. The lights flicker for a while, then turn off/on randomly. Strange...I didn't want the battery to die so I just pulled out the fuse for the fog lamps for now. I swear that when I put my ear up to the light switch, I can hear some weird clicking/sparking noise like there's a short circuit. Any ideas?

thanks and I love this site...will post pics soon after these little problems get fixed.
