Running OK, but with some niggling problems. - The rear window defrost switch recently started not latching on like it's supposed to. Yesterday, I held the switch in its upper position as I was driving to defrost the rear window. After awhile, it decided it would stay on when I released the switch, but by that time the window was nearly defrosted. - The four-way emergency flashers stopped working. At one point, pressing the switch would cause the bulb-out light to come on. Now, nothing happens. I got a new switch from Kaleb, but now I'm not sure that's the entire problem. I need to find a schematic of the circuitry. - The check engine light has been on, with an error code of 23, which is the up-shift delay when the engine is cold. That causes the transmission to stay in a lower gear, forcing the engine to go to higher RPM to cause the catalytic converter to be heated up more quickly. Since it was causing the engine to go well over 3000 RPM when it was stone cold, I'm just as glad it's not working; I don't want to rev a cold engine that high, particularly when the temperature is in the single digits. I did some research about it online and think there is some way to have it not do that but still have the computer think everything is OK. I haven't gotten any further than that, though the CEL has been on for many thousands of miles. - The passenger-side mirror doesn't move horizontally -- a linkage is broken as I understand it. I'm still waiting for parts from Kaleb. - The 205/55-16 Nokian WRG2 tires I had put on our E420 but transferred to the E320 when the E420 was wrecked are nearly worn out, so I need to buy new tires. I have a complete set of 15" rims, so I am planning on putting winter tires on those and a set of summer tires on the 16" rims. (And thanks to listers for that decision.) - The engine is running fine after I replaced the water pump. The car is getting 25 - 26 mpg now during the winter here at 7000+ foot elevation.
