electrics

My newly aquired C200 appears tetchy and often refuses to release key fob from dash is this going to be problematic and costly . Can all this nonsense be bypassed .

just wondered if anyone else had this problem i gotta get it scanned anyway but on the first startup of my car i get 2 malfuctions come up 1st is the srs restraint fault and the second is a picture of a oil can with a wavy line under saying display faulty i will take pictures and to add to that...

Hi, looking for a part number or exploded diagram for the wiring which connects to the accelerator pedal. I stupidly left my dog in the front of my van and now the wires are no-more!!,GUTTED. :( Any help appreciated, cheers

Was called out to a 4 year old C class earlier, non start. The keyfob was operating the doors properly, but when inserted into the dash and turned, nothing.... no warning lights,ignition, nothing. It was an auto so no release of the steering lock or trans, so no tow. Its staying where it is for...

I've got a new light switch - a fancy LightwaveRF dimmer - but I'm not sure how i should wire it up and the instructions aren't much use. I'll try the Lightwave customer support tomorrow, but thought I'd try the MBClub Collective first. So the original switch is mounted on a plastic back...

Fitted one of these yesterday as original was broken at hinge but all was working perfect electrically. I tested new one and it was adjusting no problem up down, left right. Customer called this morning to say when you adjust left it goes all the way out and wont stop in the position you want...

This may give you a laugh. Problem started with folding mirrors folding while driving, then wipers switching on and off, parking brake light on and off, brake lights operate on their own, side lights remain on when parked , fog lights dim when switched off. Suspect light switch control unit...
