High beam and dash lights problematic
Hi all,
I have a 1995 e320 wagon and I was having a problem with the high beams coming on where sometimes instead of coming on they would leave me in darkness. No high beams, no low beams. What you could do is actuate the lever more than once and they would come on. You always have the low beams to fall back on but it is pretty invigorating to have no lights for a moment or two. This has progressed to no high beams at all and as an extra bonus no dashlights. Low beams work fine. Is this and issue with the high beam switch worth taking apart the steering stuff to either replace or clean it up? Are the dash lights on the same circuit? I have not checked the fuses but if one is wasted I still need to know why and what I can do about it.
Any likely suspects you all could help me round up?
Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
