Hi,

My c class w204 57 plate has a weird problem! When you start the car indicators work fine, after a short while they will suddenly stop so cant indicate left or right! Once i switch the car off and on they will be back on but only for a short while! Anybody else come across this issue?? Sometimes i have to switch it on and off a few times before they work again!

Any help appreciated!!

Thanks

Never heard of this one and it has not been up here before,, i would think thje car needs to go on STAR to see if the fault is recorded, it could be a SAM problem

Thanks for you reply..is the sam specific to indicators? Hazard light seems to work when the indicator stops!! Headlights wipers/washer all work too...its only intermittent..just came back after driving for 30mins no issues..

A SAM is the electronic storage device that has these things built and configured in

I had a problem where the indicators stopped working - took it into MB and they diagnosed a software problem.

New software uploaded and no problem since.

I would settle for the update for the other things could be false readings
