Hello and good evening, i had an accident with my car, it is a 2004 mercedes benz clk 500 and the car lighter is not working, can anyone tell me where the fuse would be for the lighter

Louie D

Fuse # is 47 Engine compartment

Hey Louie, thank u for the information, i have one more question for u, what color fuse would it be, i have never seen so many fuses in my life for one car, it's crazy, lol, Oh, one more thing, is it one fuse or two different fuses

Rudeney

This is a 15 amp fuse, so it will be blue. Here's a diagram that will help you locate fuse #47:

Hey Rudeney thank for the diagram, it is now working real good, i have another question, i have a sun shade that comes up inside the car and it will not come down, is there a way to get it down, i don't mind the shade but i would like to see out of my back window if u know what i mean, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rudeney

There is probably trash in the arms. You'll need two people - one to press the switch, the other to gently press the arms to the center so they will start moving again.

Hey Rudeney, u r pretty good, that worked as well, let me ask u one more question, the windshield wipers will not stay on and everytime i push the button it never stays on, talk to me broman, let me know what i need to do, i appreciate it

Go, guru, go!

Rudeney

Just to make sure, are you twisting the wiper control knob to set it to rain sensor/slow/high or pushing it in for a single swipe/wash?

djscottyboy2000

when we turned the knob for the wipers to go on, the wipers do not move and i don't know why, what can u tell me broman

Rudeney

First, check fuse #46 (the fuse box under the hood). If that's not it, does the washer work? If not, then you probably have a bad wiper/turn signal switch assembly. One thing you might try is to see if you can turn on the wipers with the turn signal on (left or right). If that works, then it's definitely a bad switch.

djscottyboy2000

Hey Rodeney, it is the switch, what can i do to get it replaced, i replaced the fuse and it was not it, it is definitely the switch

Rudeney

The part itself is around $100. You have to take the steering wheel, airbag, and "clock spring assembly" out to get to it. It's not crazy-difficult, but you have to be careful.

Ok cool, could u send me a diagram like u did before, i will go get the piece that i need, oh by the way, what piece to i need and how long will it take for me to put it in

Rudeney

Here are the WIS docs, in order:

Airbag
Steering Wheel
Steering Column Module (a.k.a. Clockspring Module)
Steering Angle Sensor
Steering Wheel Adjuster
Cruise Control Switch
Steering Column Combination Switch (<- that's the part you need)

Hey Rodney, I appreciate it my man, good looking out, i will be takeing care of it this weekend, if something else comes up, i will make sure i hit u broman, again thanks for the information and graphs

djscottyboy2000

Hey Rodeney, how r u my friend, it has been a while, i want to thank u for the info u sent to me for the signal piece, it is not working perfectly, i now am having a problem with the filters, i am thinking that there are three filters that go in the car, could u help to let me know which ones are n the car, the car started sputtering like it wanted to cut off and i am thinking that it may be the filters, what can u do for me my friend

Rudeney

You mean the engine intake air filters? There are two - inside the main plastic engine cover.

djscottyboy2000

ok cool, can I do the job as far as changing them myself, what do i need to do broman, because money is scarce right now, just trying to get by if u know what I mean, lol!!!!! Oh one more thing, are there any sensors on the filters, I was told that they are sensors, I do no belive it

Rudeney

There are no sensors on the air filters. Just remove the plastic engine cover, flip it over and you'll see some TORX screws to remove. The filters are under there.

djscottyboy2000

do I need a special screw driver to get if off or can I use a regular screw driver, could send me a picture so I can take a look my friend

Rudeney

You need a TORX driver. There are different sizes - I don't recall which size you need, maybe a 15 or 20? If you are going to do any work at all on the car, get yourself a set. THey look like this:
