Hello MBClub members, This is my first post and I am hoping some of you might be able to help with a frustrating problem :wallbash:. I purchased a CLK230 W208 back in summer and as I like a tipple in the evenings I did not notice this problem until the winter darkness set in. I have no back...

The display letters are dim in daylight on Audio 20 in my 211. It was suggested on the Owners Forum that strong light be shone at the sensor (s?) and that would reset the display. That doesn't work for me and I'm not sure if what I'm doing is even correct. It's not even April 1st. :doh: Can...

1994 W124 E300D I did quite a lot of searching on this subject and nobody seemed clear if a W124 had back illumination around the headlight switch and headlight sinker/raiser or not. Well I can tell you at least mine does. This is how they are changed First of all get a good grip on the actual...

Hi, When I am driving at night I dim the instrument cluster backlight down and it has always stayed that way when I switch the lights on. Recently it has been comming on at its brightest when I start the car again after a short stop. I dim it down and it is fine until I make another short...

the backlight has gone on the odometer in my car. The surrounding warning lights are on fine and the mileage is still counting. Does anyone know if this just requires a replacement bulb or is it something more serious?
