My yellow blindspot indicators started flashing all the time,,gla250
GLA 250, about 26K miles; the yellow blind spot lights today started flashing all the way home, about a 19mile drive. I can’t find anything in the manual about it.

60-70mph; I know they are on a low speeds, under 20mph, but they started when I was about 50mph and kept on as I increased speed. I slowed down for a bit, to around 50mph, and they stopped for a few seconds, then started back.

Keep in mind, you're in the CLA forum, not GLA.
My BS lights never go yellow - which is great. I found that when they are yellow when going below the speed threshold it's annoying. Mine only turn red when something is in the blind spot and I'm going over some speed. The way it should work in my opinion. I only wish they would work whether the car was moving or not - if you're looking to pull out of a parked space, they should still be monitoring the road. Guess we can't have it all.

mmmm yellow is to let you know that BS is not active. I'd like them to be green to show that they are active, yellow inactive and red for danger. Guaranteed, we are going to get idiots that say "my blind spot indicator was not showing so I pulled out/ changed lanes and it is not my fault that the car hit me"

@rorywquin keep in mind that will never be allowed because people are color blind. I wonder if the loss of yellow is due in part to this in fact. Not just confusing to those who don't know the system, but to the color blind, that light would just be grayish no matter what. I think the right answer is: 1) always on, 0mph onward, 2) indicator active in dashboard, 3) mirror lights only when something in blind spot. If anyone at MB is reading this - hello? how hard can this be? I also noticed that many cars much cheaper than most Benzes have their BS monitor on when stopped - when I'm riding my bike, they are off until I pull up alongside.

It never did it again, so guessing it was one of the electrical system glitches that occur occasionally. I told the dealership about so they could make note, they did a general check and didn’t find anything. I didn’t have any of the other things you noted which definitely sound serious. Good luck.
