Crossed terminals HELP!!!
I woke up early in the morning and my car needed to be jumped. I used my roommates car to jump it and wasn’t paying attention. After about 30 seconds I noticed i places the jumper cables on the wrong terminals, who could blame me it was early in the morning and Mercedes made both cables black. After I corrected the mistake and jumped my car I noticed that all of my headlights except for the left high beam do not work. What’s weird is when I set the lights to auto, the right headlight will flicker on and off for a couple of minutes then not work at all. The only way I can drive at night is with my left high beam on. Any suggestion what it could possibly be?!?

You just very mater of fact about it and I dont think it is that simple. Sure if you just want to shotgun parts at the thing you should replace the sam without any diagnostic. Sure would be a shame though if it was just a a ballast that cost half as much.
