1997 slk 230 electric roof won't open and red light is on inside

Bought the car recently and everything was fine. Now the roof won't open and a red indicator is on inside, there is also a light come on the dash board when you turn the side lights and also the interior light won't go out unless you switch it to the right! Didn't have any of these problems to start with.

SOURCE: '03 SLK 230 top wont close - stuck half way open

first thing I would try, disconnect the battery to the car for a minute, then reconnect it. that may correct your problem.

Testimonial: "Thank you so much! That was the fix no one (else) could give me on a Sunday. Now I need the code to unlock the stereo... I will check with Mercedes."

Check one of the fuses in the bonnet. There is most likely an electrical contact problem. You will need a fuse wire replacement

SOURCE: electric windows are fine the roof gets half way

If the top is half way down that means that the trunk is open and should be touching the trunk switch to continue the process. The switch must be bad and it is inside the rear right fender close the the stop light

Where is the fill plug for 1999 mecedes slk 230 hydraulic roof pump

Should be a screw on top of the pump - upper right side.
It should fit a hex/allen/key size 5.
Oil level should be between min and max.
After filling, tighten screw with 8NM torque

If you look down through the "brush", you'll see the screw.


The screw on top of the pump is for the refill, the one on the side is to releave the preasure when you open the top manualy. There is a refill line on the side as well.

Top won't go down, sometines it won't go up

I have seen this problem many times. One of your microswitches is either giving a false reading or fell of its retaining bracket. It is much easier to diagnose with a scan tool. My first guess would be that your retractable cover in the trunk lost it's switch input. Check the switch that is contacted when your cover is pulled out. If that is o.k. look inside the hard top deck lid cover very carefully and you will probably see either a broken wire or a loose switch. You may have to manually close your top becuse the switch inputs are illogical. Your manual will tell you how to close your roof.

Sticking roof

This symptom almost always points to a lubrication issue. The SLK hardtop is notorious for needing to belubricated every couple of years. Here is a link with directions andphotos:

Hi my check engine light turned on and i took it and the guy said it was just the sensor and when i turn it on the first time it will turn on but when i try it a second time it wont? its ans SLK 230 yr 99

Seems like everything that could possibly go wrong with a car hit me recently. It all began when my check engine light came on. Weeks later my convertible top just stopped in mid air! I thought I would die. I found that I had a busted hydrolic hose in the convertible roof. Just had the hose replaced and the light went off. Something to check in to because the hydrolic fluid leaked out and ruined my leather headliner and that is another expense I could do without right now.
