Known issues on the 1994 S500. Four owner complaints name the 1994 S500, and the electrical system figures in all four; one also raised the air bags and one the seats. Twelve further complaints were logged against the wider 1994 S-Class line, again touching the electrical system, with one also citing the suspension. For that pattern the manual supplies wiring diagrams and electrical diagnostics, backed by restraint system and seat procedures and by suspension specifications with their torque values.
