Just Joined The CLK Family!!!

Whats good ya'll... first off i wanna thank ya'll cuz when I was car shopping I was on this blog browsing and because of ya'll I bought a 2005 CLK500 and I made the right decision... great car...!!

Before we get to the good i need some help with the bad..

1) My steering wheel doesn't go up or down (only back and forth) I was told its the motor... idk help!!

2) I have the navigation option in my car but when the head unit gets 2 hot.. the screen reads (Cannot read navigation disc...) My Navi only works when i first start the car (cuz its cool) and for about 1 or 2 hrs after that.

3) The headlight washers dont work (minor)

4) And lastly but VERY IMPORTANT... I have LED's on the trunk over the license plate.. Sometimes one side doesn't turn on.. and at other times they flicker.. i want to kno if someone can help me get a good pair ASAP

Does Any one Have Some Advice On These Topics?? Thanx!

Hello and Welcome to the Forum! Glad we were able to help with your decision...

Not sure about the wheel,navi,washers, but I would take it to a reputable independent MB shop and see what they say. Maybe another member will have better answers.

As for the LED's, do yours have resistors? If not this is most likely your problem. You have to get ones with built in resistors or a DIY.

2003 CLK 320
go to ijdmtoy.com i bought mine from there and the LEDs come with resistors. they work well. ive had them in for about 2 months now, no problems. a couple of our members have done this route as well. so far so good.

but as dynomite05 stated, go to an independent shop. see how much everything will cost first.
