Exclamation 500sl hard top system

hi all,

i have a 1990 500sl and i have jus replaced the acctuator for locking the hardtop and softtop into place. i was wondering if you have to bleed the whole system after that procedure.

It isn't necessary to do any bleeding. The system will purge the air by itself.

thats great however i was about to put everything back toghether today and i have another problem. When i turn the key to the on postion all the lights in the dash start flickering instead of staying on and also i cannot move the hardtop switch forward to close it. Furthermore the tachometer, spedometer oil pressure or the gas insturements are at zero. They dont work. Car starts and runs fine
