Curt,
I'm not an expert on the MB buzzer box as I've never had the pleasure of
taking one apart but if what you saw was a small black box piece with
two connections in there that would do the buzzing, you might want to
get an after market add-on buzzer at someplace like Autozone or Advance

Found the buzzer. No obvious reason for it to be quiet. Took the
outer
cover off, the buzzy
Inside the casing I found NO moving parts, just a little black box
buzzer thing which made very little noise.
I also saw no way for it to contact the case...
Yours is different than mine then. The older cars had a
definitely more anemic peeper inside than the vigorous
buzz of our later cars.
Found the buzzer. No obvious reason for it to be quiet. Took the outer cover
off, the buzzy bit is still very quiet.
Resoldered a couple joints that looked poor. Didn't help, in fact its quieter
now.
Achhh they're $72... Unless Seat Belt Warning Relay isn't it. It sure looks
like it.
Oh list

Probably but theres like 8 or 10 pins, gonna take some time with the
multi-meter.
I'm guessing they don't fail a lot, hoping used is an option.

It would be. The little weight on the end of the flapper arm
is supposed to bang into the wall of the plastic cover. It should
move briskly. Any bad electrolytic capacitors

So: Where does the buzzer live?
What do I need to buy to replace it?
The buzzer in a 190D is bolted against the side kick panel
in the footwell, it uses the side of its own plastic case
as a sounding board. If you pull the relay apart you'll
see how it works. I suspect yours isn't working
