So I bought an s55... got some questions???
Well this is the first one I have owned, I like the car. But I do have some questions.
It's a black 04 with 82k miles
1.) The SRS light has come on.
2.) Is there any maintinence issues I need to take care of around this mileage.
3.) the heater only blows out straight hot on 54 degrees or straight cold on low. so am I doing it wrong or is my heater broken?

I'm sure I will have more questions to come. and Thank you for the help!

do a search on the SRS which is usually a front passenger seat issue with the sensor. and I would do a basic oil change, air filters, cabin, wouldnt hurt to do a coolant flush or brake flush considering you dont know when they were done last.

I remember reading a thread ( I will try to find it) that there is a sensor in the passenger seat that goes out, they said you can try cleaning the connector, but most of the time you need to replace the sensor....
