Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help

I Have c class kompressor 2009 , having a few issues with it, The problems started with the rear driving side indicator stopped working and the headlights switching on at the start of the engine even though they are off by a switch, and can’t switch them off, and hazard lights not working either now after a couple of weeks lights headlights go off and on themselves while driving, have no control on them

Got checked up with the local garage, and they could not find a fault, with the lights, but fixed the indicator and told me had a wiring problem that cost me £150 check-up and repair



Booked RAC diagnostic check on the car and explained to them this is the problem I am looking to diagnose cost me £70

They sent me the report Error Code D017 MOST Bus faulty, the mechanic told me to replace the battery which should solve the problem, but no fault code for the battery on the report, I replaced the battery Cost £84, but the problem is still the same

Can anyone guide me in the right direction please? Thanks

Hello and welcome,

Sounds like water in the SAM (Fancy fuse box)

Hi thanks for the reply and suggestion, SAM Fuse box any particular one out 3 or 4, one under the hood, driver's side, in the boot?

thanks, I will open it and see what I can find and hopefully fix the problem. As you suggested SAM unit, I have done some research and found this video on YouTube
