A few SL55 issues - can anyone help?

H everyone - few issues have all come together on my 03 SL 55 and wonder if anyone can help?

- Passenger seat moves forward when pressing the button on the top to get into the back but does not go back into place when pressing the button to return it back? Although I can return the seat using the seat controls on the door...

- Boot does not auto close if it is partially or lightly closed, I remember it used to do this?

- O/S wing mirror reverses down when reversing but only returns back into place when the drivers mirror switch is accessed - don't think this is normal?

- I also occasionally have the old ABC warning light come up in white but no fluid leaks or any other related issues found?

Are these issues related to fuses? Otherwise does anyone know of any good independents near SW London?

Many thanks for any help!!!

I have the same mirror issue. It reverse down when I hit reverse gear, but it never flips back up!

ABC, ah...most likely there is a leak but you dont see it. Our cars are prone to suspensions failing all the time, so you will have to have the dealer check it out.

Ahhh thanks Derrick - mirror issue does sound a bit strange doesnt it? Perhaps a loose wire?

ABC sounds like an air bubble and sensor fault so will have the STAR check it out next time its in the garage!

Cheers!

the boot auto close issue is common. i had the actuator replaced, but it may only need to be re-initialized. no, i don't know how to do that

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
do a search for pse pump or trunk or check if you hear air vacuum leak around the trunk lock. It is fixable.
