Hi Folks,
First, I want to say thanks to all here, I have "lurked" here for 18 or
so months and have learned a lot.
I at current own 2 MB's, usually trouble free (1986 300E 3.0 5spd and a
1995 600SL auto) Both are US spec.
My current problem is with my 86 300E, I bought it with 34K miles, it
just turned 184K.  When I park it and lock it, all is fine, but now,
when I go to unlock the drivers door, all the locks open, but when I
open the door, the alarm horn/headlights start off like a breakin.  I
have to insert key into door lock and turn a couple times in the unlock
direction to silence it.  It happens maybe once a week now and usually
at the most inopportune times!  I figure it is a switch in door going bad.

My question is, is there a way to just shut off the factory alarm
(besides disconnecting the alarm horn) I am not to worried about someone
stealing it, and I thing when it is operating it kills the ignition, I
don't want to get stranded cause of not being able to shut down.

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Cothrom
