You are the most excellent of all dudes Pete! My lock pump went out just yesterday, and with your help locating the little bugger, I'll go ahead and get a re-built online. I replaced the one under the rear seat 4-5 years ago, and my records showed it was the 3rd one. If anyone here has heard of a solution, the MB NO LONGER providing the ignition chips for the keys to the W 140; PLEASE let me know. I have 3 sets, but I have a friend with a '99 S320 and only one key. The Stealership said if he loses it, he's looking at +/- $10,000 in labor.

Yes, self-closing is a notorious fault. You need to reset the system, by cutting power supply, after few actuations (it's an electronic fault not pneumatic). What I've done is to cut power off to the self-closing system, by opening a series mounted normally-on relay when the reversing light turns on. This way, few times a day, I have a power cut to the electronics of the soft-closing system. Any other option (new electronics, etc) comes with an eye-watering price.

Hi Pete, any advice on how to make the pump “release” the door any quicker? I removed the fuse and it got the doors/trunk working but it stops working after only 3-4 “uses”. I noticed that the pump keeps working for 10-15 second after the door has been pulled in and then releases, so im guessing this is why it needs to be reset so often.

Hey Pete, thanks for useful video! I just quickly browsed through your videos and I see you fixed soft close already. I'll watch that videos within few days too. Anyway I got few questions - when you tried to close any of 3 other doors did you hear any noise from the pump? And was there any noise when you tried to close right front door where soft close didn't work? Thanks! PS: currently all my 4 doors don't close via soft close (it stopped working on all doors approximately at the same time) and truck handle is acting weirdly: when I close the trunk handle first sucks inside like it should but then fully comes out in about 30 seconds or so. I guess I need to try to reset pump first and see what happens.
@petescarport

So funny thing is the trunk handle part works off a different pump but the soft close part of trunk works on the pump in trunk. The handle mechanism is controlled by the lock pump under the rear seat. Mine currently isn't working because my lock pump went bad but my trunk still sucks shut. When my passenger door wasn't working, it wouldn't function at all. I found out a ground wire for that door came off and when I got a radio installed they fixed it by mistake because it was ground for door speaker too.
