A209 no sun visor vanity light?

[Taipan]

Hi All

The previous owner told me the sunvisor light(s?) don't work but flicker occasionally. Didn't think it would bother me but it does as my daughter said, "Mums car has lights on her sunvisors". I cant have a Merc outclassed by a Mini!

So I went through the full diagnostics of wiggling it about, but to no avail. I suppose this could be a faulty bulb but suspect the previous owner would have replaced this if it was?

Anyone else had this problem? Any idea on where to start looking/checking?

Many thanks.

I said its a A209 as I thats what I think it is, but just in case its a 55 reg CLK200K convertible.

Its a 209. Are the contacts clean on the hinge point?

Hi. Thanks for the reply. To be honest I havent even looked. I was being lazy and trying to shortcut any investigations as its easy to waste a lot of time looking for stuff only to find out if you'd asked someone could have told you. Search did tell me it wasnt uncommon though, so I did at least try that..

I'll check the contacts tomorrow.
