FSS and Dash Warning
I am having a couple of issues on my 2000 SL500 vin WDBFA68F6YF193510.
After an oil change and battery replacement I tried to reset the FSS per owner's manual. The indicator for the B service is still active with -3 displayed. I've read some posts about having the doors closed, cycling the door locks, clearing and error codes, disconnecting the battery, reset the Radio and auto up window function and following the owner's manual procedure after each to no resolve. The car starts and runs. Any suggestions?
Maybe a second issue, during FSS reset process I noticed the dash warning lights all flash on for a split second when I turn the key to position 2 and then most extinguish except Check Engine and BAS/ESP, are they all suppose to stay on until the engine is running, like my W124? Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance for any help.

My only remaining error code is P0100 that will not clear, this is for an other topic.
Thanks again to the group.
