  Hello fellow enthusiasts, 

    My 1998 SL500 has recently begun displaying several gremlins. On occasion, the door locks will unlock while traveling. Originally I thought a sudden jolt triggered the post accident unlock system but there seems to be no correlation between rough road and occurrence. The second gremlin to manifest itself is the occasional failure to unlock the trunk via the remote, console switch, or outside mechanical key. Several cycles of locking and unlocking the doors via the remote and key, starting the car, and pushing down slightly on the trunk lid generally cures the problem. I'm unsure if my actions have any effect on the problem but they occupy my time while I wait for the unlock system to decide to return to functionality. 
  Finally, following the unlocking while traveling, the central locking system has been losing all function. Recently, after the doors unlocked enroute, I arrived at my location and found I could not lock the doors normally. I was able to secure the car by physically locking the passenger door and locking the driver's door with the key. 
    Has anyone experienced similar symptoms and, if so, would you offer me any advice as to what to check, repair, and/or replace?  Thanks in advance for you input and advice.
