Why is this?
Hey guys i own a 99 c280 sport and i just encountered a problem when i make turns or take off from a stop my hazards will flicker and occasionally my horn will honk ?! Also my speedometer lights will flicker too. If anyone has any idea why this may be can you please let me know ? Any help is appreciated.
