MbTech: Interior lights don't turn on anymore!!

When I press the button for reading lights (CLK320Cab) they come on fine, but when I, say, use the remote to unlock the car they don't turn on automatically anymore. They also don't turn on when I open the door at night... This started happening two days ago, I looked in the manual but there was nothing on resetting the switch...

Don't have the time to go to the dealer right now, am I missing sthg obvious?

Thx all.

Interior Lights

I had the same experience. I believe that you probably hit the center left button, (the one with the car on it) twice. By doing so you cancelled all interior lamps, even when centrally unlocking or opening a door. Just press it once and it should reset and everything should work.

The light buttons are annoying as hell. Very fussy. Just hit the "door" light button once or twice and you should be good.
