Help. . . please! I replaced the tail light on my CLK 500. However, I still get the malfunction message that the light is out and substitute lamp is on. What do I need to do to clear this message? I know the tail lamp is working.
Thanks for your help.

On top of that my radio started to crackle and then the sound just went out. The radio display is still on. There is just no sound. Is there a fuse on the amp? Has this happened to any of you?

Well i got the radio working luckily. The plastic rivet in the weather stripped trunk liner right above the amp was loose so water dripped on my amp. GRRR! I got to it in time, removed it, hit it with a blow dryer and sealed the hole and now it works.

Still have the tail light problem. I replaced the one that was out but it still says substitute lamp on and a tail light is out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No just standard lights. Weird thing is that it stopped saying malfunction today and i did nothing different? I will see if it comes back on tomorrow.

It has been cold out so I only replaced the lights. It is supposed to be about 60 here tomorrow so I plan on checking out that and my rear suspension. I am in North Olmsted.

cool, Lakewood myself.



Test it and get back to me, I'll be at the dealership tomorrow to pick up some new license plate bulb covers. Did the LED Plate light and now i need new covers to make it shine.

Cool lakewood is close. My buddy owns a bar in lakewood. Don't waste your money at the benz dealer. Go to mercedespartssuperstore.com they have almost everything for about 50% less than the dealer.

Same thing here with tail lights and radio
Resolution for lights, changed all bulbs.
As for the radio, it just came back the next day on it's own.
