W211
Hi, I have the same issue with both of my cars W211 and 219. I planning to visit Gargash tommorow. I am sure they'll refuse to start with. Would you remember anything specific about 10 year or extended warranty they mentioned.

dtc with cluster warning, stop lamp switch replaced already

Hello.

I've a persistent dtc with dash warning as seen below. Stop lamp has been replaced with new module. drivers side fuse is intact.
Is there a well-known method to check the voltage of this module? If wobbly voltage is present, then what?
DTC has been erased yet immediately returns when stop/lamp switch is again depressed fully.

Have you checked the wiring in the trunk? There's a long thread about that too here somewhere but some of the wiring could have gone there too. Usually on the left side of the trunk hinge there's a bundle of wires. Otherwise maybe a bad switch, was it OEM or aftermarket?

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Wiring in trunk checked and fixed last year. It brought me to this forum, even.

There's an upthread comment I read today about new stoplight switches. They come not fully extended. Anyways I checked it out for extension and that did the trick. Sneaky Bilstein packagers. Thanks again for your input.
