The O/S rear license plate light on my 2003 CLK 270 CDi has stopped working - the warning light on dash board comes on as expected. BUT... I have tried a new bulb- still doesn't work! Tested the fitting and no power/volts going to it! Stripped boot lid carpet to access fitting and tested plug/connector - no power... tried to see any other joint problems further back in the wiring (in boot) but impossible to track any further back.
Wondered if it had its own fuse but of course it hasn't, the chart in fuse box tells me tht it is 'electronic'... what do I do now? Anyone got any ideas? It was working fine until I decided to take out the no.plate lights plastic covers to clean them!! The only other thing done at the same time was renew the third brake light with genuing MB part.... I can't imagine this did anything though as it was so easy to replace.
If it needs a new 'electronic (fuse??) where do I find this... I'm kinda reluctant to incur a £100 bill simply to repair the no-plate light??
Any-one any ideas? I'd love to think this is a simple fix!
This real fault joins the intermittent BAS/ESP warning that I still haven't been able to fix!! If its 'corrosion on the control module' (where do I find that please?)
Thanks to ANYONE who might be able to help with this .....
