C220 CDI '01 Bulbs

[chrislewis101]

Hi All,

New to the forum, ive tried searching for this but havent found any info...

Bought the car 1 month ago, No faults, today it is saying that the Front Right Indicator bulb has gone and the rear back brake bulb has gone aswell. Both arent working, ive checked.

Is this more likely to be a electric problem, fuse/bad earth or would it just be that the bulbs have gone?

Thanks for the help

Not on same fuse so not a fuse problem.
Have you taken the bulbs out?
You may be unlucky and have two bad bulbs. There have been earthing isues on the rear of my 'E'. I take out the bulb and holder periodically and clean up the contacts.

Havent taken the bulbs out as it only started displaying the fault on the way to work this morning. How easy is it to take out the front indicator bulb? The back one looks easy enough.

Replace the bulb holders, they are a known problem. Cheap, easy to do. do that before you contemplate anything else.
