Few probs

[JaceyBoy]

Hi Guys, this is my first post as just picked up a CLK Cab 230K yr 2000/W for my wife today, and it has a few niggling things.

1) How do i change the mirror indicator bulbs?
2) The windows dont open when opening the door and dont close when shutting the door (this is a common fault believe?), how do I fix this?
3) Is there any other things I shold watch out for?

Thanks

Jason

Hi Jason, I take it you want to fit new indicators strips in the mirrors.

With the windows try a re set by holding the window button down for 10 sec with the key turned to 2 then do the same in the up mode.

Malcolm,

Thanks for coming back so quick, I was wanting to change the bulbs to led ones, is that not possible?

I will try the window thing, thanks

I am sorry you cant do that as they do not fit, and I have neve heard of a way around it.

Hi Jason, welcome to the forum

I take it you mean to change the silvered bulbs in the front indicators? If yes then, yes you can fit LED cluster "bulbs"

Thanks again, if the window thing doesnt reset, is it electrical units that need replacing?

Is there anything else I can do?

Your car maybe too old to have that feature and I am sure it is.

 

[JaceyBoy]

Is it a mecanical problem then?

My W Reg CLK320 Cab does not drop the windows when you open the door, never has.

Hmmm, I would have thought the cars should do it?, my old BMW was 1998 and had it?

 

[gbjeppm]

I am 99% certain that the handbook does not mention this, but wil recheck tonight, but I think BLACKC55 is right these cars are too early for this feature.

I rented a 2006 SLK 6 months ago, and it did do this, it certainly helps in closing the doors, but I fear that it can't be done on our cars.

 

[JaceyBoy]

I cant believe it doesnt do this, as shutting the door can be a right pain

 

[BTB 500]

What does the handbook say? If the car has this feature there's likely to be a warning about not opening/closing the doors with the battery disconnected (because of potential damage to the windows and seals). This is certainly the case with my SL.

Been right through it and not on the car as said by the others, sorry about that

Alfie says in this thread that his 2002 CLK had the feature, I wonder when it came in, as mine is post facelift as well. Now I want it.
