Question A couple of problems with my Clk

I've had my 2003 Clk for a few months and am having a couple of problems.
1.) My right xenon low beam works when it wants to. I have replaced the bulb and ballast.
2) When I turn the rear defogger on, the radio will goes to static?

Has anyone had this type of experience and point me in the right direction to get them resolved? Thanks

l0l don't be affended by a guy that has 6 posts and has a CLK67... Only thing you can really do is get it checked out at the dealer most likely... I dont know if a place in your area would have the neccesary comp equip. to check that stuff out... Goodluck

Thanks BrianKim,
I shouldn't have responded to that. I do have a Benz dealer in the area. I'll be taking it there. Thanks again.

Oh Dear...
I'm used to seeing this type of posting on the Vectra forum, took me a bit by surprise here !!!

Sounds like a loose connection causing a tiny spark when the defogger (high current item) is operating. Might be worth a look at any exposed wires and giving them a little wiggle - may just work!!!
