Interior central locking on SL R129

[ADP]

In the winter I came across a problem with my interior central locking I had to force open my central storage compartment to retreve my wallet. Since then I have had no need to open any of the interior compartments, until now. I need to get into the compartment under the back seats and the seats are locked. Does any one know were the " switch for interior central locking system" (SL owners manual 1996 page 122) is as it uses fuse 5 in the auxilary fuse box (fuse not blown). I was wondering if the switch had broken making the system unable to release the locking pins?? Can anyone help

All of the compartment locking on a 129 is vacuum operated

So will I need to change the pump even though the exterior locking system is fine? And why does the manual say there is a switch for the interior locking system. Is it just a generic fuse description for more than one merc. Thanks for your help.

Yes you do have a switch for turning off the compartment, that bit is electric the rest vacuum, this will not be the vacuum pump.

The switch is key operated next to the sunglasses compartment above the aircon.

The lock will only open and close the exterior central locking and manually open the the sunglass compartment but he centre console and rear seats are still locked.

It sounds like you have a vacuum leak then - not uncommon as the hoses / Y-pipe connections can break. The centre console is easy enough to take apart - these videos should help:

The Susky site we use is down, it is all vacuum controlled

Am I right in saying that the switch is a 3 way thing, I forget now but I an sure that I had a separate key to lock the boxes

Thanks sorted that problem now and opened the back seats, now on to problem 2. The next problem is the roll bar will not retract. I will post a new thread for this problem. Thanks for your help ADP
