First of all, there's no such thing as a 1989 450sl...they stopped making 450sl's in 1980...then they went to the 380sl for a few years, then finally the 560sl to finish up the 107 body style run.
Secondly, if we are talking about a 1979 450sl, there is no central locking pump. The entire central locking system uses the engine's vacuum. There is a storage ballast underneath the front right fender....it reminds me of 9 black balls stuck together with a single vacuum line coming out of it.
The doors, trunk and gas flap are all controlled by the central locking system. Each has and needs its own vacuum diaphragms...that are powered by the vacuum lines. If your central locking system isn't working, get a vacuum gun and test each diaphragm to see if they're working properly. There is also a small vacuum valve in the left door that might also need replacing...you should also check all the pertinent vacuum lines and rubber connections for leaks. One leak will screw up the entire system.
Also, if you do have a 79 SL, you also have the worse climate control system ever made...this system also depends on a vacuum supply to function. That is a highly complex system that your mechanic should work on, not an amateur
there is no button or switch. there is a gas door lock that is incorporated into the central locking unit on your car. it locks when you lock the car and unlocks when you unlock the car.

A fuse box diagram for a 1989 Mercedes Benz 420sel is located in the service manual. It is particularly helpful when troubleshooting electrical problems and install new equipment.
The oil pump is located at the bottom of the engine, inside of the oil pan.
I was a factory trained Mercedes mechanic. The more information, the better the diagnosis. What indicator are you asking about and are you sure it is controlled by a relay? Max

The oxygen sensor for my 1989 190E 2.6 is located on top of the exhaust just underneath the passenger side of the car. The wiring from the 02 sensor runs up underneath the passenger side floorboard carpet.
