Blind Spot Assist Inoperable-2012 ML350 Bluetec
Hi, My blind spot Assist stopped working. It seems that the two modules are locat3 in the rear bumper. I understand that they had a defect in that they were not sealed properly therefore allowing water to seep into the electronics. To replace the 2 modules at the dealer is about $3000cdn. I was wonder8ng whether anyone knows where I could purchase these blind assist modules at a reasonable price so that I can install them myself. Does anyone also know where I can obtain a repair manual specifically for this 2012 ML350 bluetec? I am especially interested in finding out how to remove the bumper as well. There are no YouTube videos for this year.
thanks, Keman58

Perhaps you should learn how to read. I am simply asking where I can purchase the modules and the repair manual. I know exactly what’s wrong with them. The modules have to be replaced as they are defective.

Hi, I just started to get same message last week on 2012 350 Gas (W166 it seems that yours is W164) it seems that in salty conditions they might last 6/7 years because of lame design. What is interesting, when I disable/enable Blind Spot feature, it's stops showing this message, but when I drive on highway in the middle lane only left (drivers side) indicator on mirror goes red when car is blind spot. Right side does not work when car is on the right side blind spot, and probably in about 15-20 min blind spot warning pops again. I was researching on OEM part site like https://www.genuinemercedesparts.com, part 000-905-02-10 (Positions: Right, Left) and assume that based on my observation right (passenger side) stopped working for me. For now I disabled that feature and will check on it when weather will be nice.

Haha, I guess this is how Europeans think who has Mercedes with cloth interior and manual windows with manual transmission and no A/C. In this side of of the puddle we moving towards self driving cars with technology.

That's cute. Never been to Europe, have you? I've lived on both sides (former Marine who will not pay a dime of taxes to the Trumpbecile administration and enjoys a much better quality of life in Germany). Trust me when I tell you haven't got a clue. Stay in the puddle, buddy.
BTW, that self-driving technology? The Europeans are far ahead of the US on that too.

. Hope to jump in self-driving one, but I think laws are still pretty behind on that in EU.
