Hi all,
Posting on behalf of a friend, who has a C180 Kompressor 2003/4 automatic. Recently one sidelight bulb went out. The dash didn't show any bulb out. The bulb was replaced to no avail.
The car was taken to a Mercedes familiar auto spark, who has concluded the car needs a new CPU/ECU at approximately £300.
I know if this was my car I'd be tapping in a wire to the working sidelight or wiring in a new relay! However, with the intention of trading the C180 in soon, it is the owners desire to keep it factory condition.
Is this a reality of over engineering? Is this a chancer? Any workarounds? And finally is this the sign of more electrical problems to come?
Thanks for any suggestions.
