I tried another lights but still not working. I think the shifter might be experiencing some issues
DOes it show the proper gear selection on the cluster MFD? If so, then the AGS is working correctly and it's likely just a loos connection in the LED unit on the shift surround. Mine had a weak solder join where the wiring harness connects to ti. I took it apart and resoldered it.

The gear selector works fine and the car drives fine. Its just the shifter indicator LEDs. How difficult to take the shifter out?

Actually, the indicator LEDs are't even part of the shifter. They are part of a small unit that just snaps into the chrome trim surrounding the shifter. It's easy to remove - just pry up gently from underneath with a plastic wedge. Below are my photos of the part that I took to help someone with a sticky C/S button:

I tested another LED indicator and it didn't work too. I think its not the indicator thats not working. It might be the wires coming from the shifter.

It could be, but this is a "hardwired" connector, so no issues with CAN buses and such. Since none of them work, my guess is a bad ground wire.

I took the shifter assembly out. The LED part you show in the pic above has two wire harnesses. One harness is for the C (comfort) S (sport mode and other harness is for LED. The LED harness is the one connected to the shifter mechanism . I tried two different indicators and none worked. So i think it might be grounding or shifter electronics.

I need real help with a new issue. My parking brakes were not working so I took the rear wheels and brake rotors out and found out that the previous owner has completely removed the brake shoes assembly except for the cables. I purchased the brake shoes and hardware but still missing some parts that I'm buying from mbpartsworld.com. Do you have pictures for the emergency brakes so I can put back together

Wipers problem

I've changed the 40 amps fuse but to no effect. Should I try changing the relays? I hope I don't need to change the combination switch though. Appreciate your advise please. Thanks!
Did you fix the problem of the wipers ?

The guy went to a Merc dealership who just opened the bonnet and slamed it shut. Did the same to mine and the washers and wipers started working again. I think its an unwanted feature. Surly the bonnet open lamp should be on the same switch so at least the user has a clue whats wrong.
Great post. This is exactly why "both" wipers and washer were inop on mine.
