2013 GLK - blind spot inoperative. Can I DIY fix?
3 days ago, the blind spot assist on the passenger side started acting up and wouldn’t detect cars. It would then frequently show up as inoperative on the dash. 2 days ago, the error would occur every time I start the car. Today the error doesn’t come up, but the blind spot assist doesnt work. No yellow or red indicators on the mirror despite turning the blind spot assist on or off. Im wondering if I blew a fuse. Anyhow, if I purchase a used radar, can I simply swap them out? I’m going to buy a used radar and new harness. I’m fairly certain it’s corrosion. We have so much salt here in Ontario.
