My 2008 ML420CDI is at it again.
Rear Sam got wet (I think it was through the 3rd brake light seal) and all lights at the back of the car stopped working.
I sent my SAM to a chap on eBay why said it could be repaired - however when I got the “fully repaired” Sam back the lights still didn’t work. Nice enough chap - refunded pretty quickly without fuss.
I now need to purchase a new rear Sam, but I guess it will need coded.
Can I code this myself - i have Star but no access to online.
Can the unit be coded by mb before I pick it up?
I live about 40 miles from nearest dealership/ indi so I don’t want to drive there with no tail lights. If I buy the sam then fit it at home will the lights work without needing coding, then I can drive in and get the rest done.
