I recently purchased a 2012 e350 bluetec and I noticed that none of my Illumination lights don’t come on. At night it is very hard to see any buttons (radio, window up/down buttons, temp select, etc.) I checked the fuses (ambient lighting fuse #2,3,39 and 41) and they all checked out in good standard. Are there other fuses I should be trying to check? The radio, heat, window buttons all work fine, it’s just no backlight to any of them. PS: yes, I already checked the lighting settings on the dash control…first thing I did. Car off Car on - no radio console backlights (driving lights on as well) Headlights on, no backlights for window buttons Shouldn’t these buttons light up too when lights are on? No backlights on window panel selection (car headlights on) Same as other
console buttons - no backlights - can’t see them at night.
Same issue with my C204. Did you find a resolution?
