Is this car a diesel or gas powered? If it is diesel, the buzzer and light is to warn that the glow plug is still heating and the more the glow-plug heats the car will start easier on colder days. Diesels make combustion by the heat of compression of the fuel by the piston, unlike a gas engine that uses spark from the spark plug to ignite the fuel and make combustion.

Good luck and I hope that helps

best advice here is to ask a local mechanic to have a look as engine shouldnt have started knocking with teh new oil in unless someone has put tranny fluid into teh engine or something stupid ,the lights for the airbag shouldnt be connected but the oil light ?? Do not drive car untill a mechanic has come around and checked it out for you though as this oil light coming on and knocking noise is serious

I just purchased a 1991 500 sl. I have the following problems: as soon as the car begins to move, a buzzer sound comes on and stays on. I assume it is a safety issue related to the top, i removed the...

You have many issues that are all unrelated.

Buzzer for th lights is supposed to be when the car is off or door is open telling you the lights are on that would lead me to believe your ignition switch or door pin switches are corroded or bad.

That may affect the top but I doubt it.

The soft top not working is most likely a hydraulic issue and can cost 1k-3k to fix unless you do it yourself.


The engine light is only for emissions. Something in that system has gone out most likely an O2 sensor.

The freon coming right out is most likely the evaporator leak in the dash this is a costly fix also. You could try your luck with industrial stop leak in the system, but if that dont work your stuck.

Light warning buzzer constantly on

Have you checked that the headlight switch is in the right position? Are the headlights or parking lights still on when the key is removed?

If so, then rotate the lamp switch to the correct position and the buzzer will go off. Headlights and parking lights are not controlled through the key circuits.
