Hi, I have a 2003 E Class T model 320cdi S211 Avangarde, I have a problem with the electrics in the tail gate, the number plate lights don't work also reversing lights don't work, the central locking on the tailgate isn't working. I read in the forum about a heavy brown wire which can get broken near to the tailgate hinge on the right side, this appears to be an earth wire, I checked this from its connection on the tailgate to as far as I could reach into the roof space for continuity and was OK, I even ran a temporary earth from the rear SIM to the tailgate. I believe the fuse in the rear SIM No 11 is for the tailgate and is OK. There is a black box in the tailgate which most wires go to, I suspect this could be a problem, but not sure exactly what it does, have you guys any ideas? Please.
