Hi everyone, got a problem...
Our UK 2003 ML500 has developed a fault with the electrics. When the headlamp stalk is moved to turn on the headlights we lose all dashboard lighting. This includes the mileometer and clock etc. The Satnav also dims. sometimes the mileometer and clock weakly try to come on but fade away after a few seconds. I firstly tried the fuse, then the relay but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. We called out a Mercedes service car, the guy tried for about two hours, he took off the clocks but could not find the source of the fault. I am now in the position where I think I shall have to take it into an electrical specialist but know this could end up being very costly.
Has anybody had a smilar experience to this? Any help much appreciated as it would be a great help to the engineer who shall have to look at the car.
Merry christmas and a happy New Year.
