Problem with reverse lights !

Hello everyone ! I'm new to this forum and I would like some help. I'd thought that people here do know and may find my problem !

My caris a C220 W203 2001 CDI - Manual Gearbox

So, the problem I am having is with the reverse lights, only one right lamp do lights when I put the car on reverse. Someone told me that the problem is common and lot of people do have it but I'm not sure if anyone did find the solution.

Mine does the same thing. I jumped the car with the key in the ignition and blew up the front SAM Module. Had it replaced and now I lost running tail lights and only one side lights up in reverse. Replaced the whole circuit board on that side with all new bulbs. I'm thinking the Rear SAM may have been more collateral damage...

Hello and thank you for your reply !

I didn't got any collateral damage since the lights where working before a 10 days vacation, and after I got back, I did realize 2 days after that they were not working properly.

The problem may be with the rear SAM.
