Dear Everyone,

As previously posted, I am trying to perfect my recently acquired 1991 245 SE. After jumping out the A/C condenser fan as suggested in the archives to improve the effectiveness of the system, the bulb failure warning light came on. I can get it to go out by turning the headlights on. Stop laughing this is serious. Any suggestions?

Next issue. There is a rattle in the rear area that sounds like a tambourine was left in the storage well. It rattles when hitting bumps though it is not a suspension noise. I have tightened up the spare and all it's accessories and taped in place some loose harnesses in the rear channeling and door. I have removed the retractable cargo cover. All rear seat belt buckles are secured. I'm beginning to suspect the seat belt spools in the rear area. Anyone ever have a similar experience? If it is them, can anything be done to quiet their inherent jiggle?

Lastly, for now, there is on occasion a groaning sound when coming off a stop for a second and reapplying the brake. It almost sounds automatic transmission-ish, which this vehicle has. Anyone have any insights?

I normally drive a 1982 GLT 5 speed that is pure tight and rattle free. The newer car is more attractive and comfortable and drives very nice but I gotta know what these noises are, and if a component is on the car it has gotta work perfectly or my neuroses will boil over and I may become a recluse. Please help.
