Indicator problem on W211

[Barrie Lennox-Gordon]

Hi to all.

Had a flat battery yesterday, jumped it with spare and no problem but indicator and foot break lights do not come on on the cluster. All other lights seem to be operating ok. Any ideas please.

Ecu might have been compromised with the jump, MB’s are sensitive little souls ...

Hi John,
Many thanks for your advice, any idea on how I might find this out and will there be other faults. Any body in the MB membership that can sort it or how I might sort it, if possible.
Best regards
Barrie.

Do the indicators stil work despite the dash lights not illuminating?

You could try Kartechnic , maybe some others on here have personal experience ...

Thanks John.
Is it usual for the ECU to be corrupted when battery dead and then recharged even when all other lights are ok except the foot brake and indicator ? Would a Star diagnostics reveal this ?

Yes, just been to Kartechnics in Christchurch, Dorset. Took negative battery lead off for 10 seconds reconnected and all indicator and brake lights all illuminate now.
Thanks to all.
