2009 ml 350 rear camera/driver side reverse light not working

Hello and thanks for checking out my post. I have tried to search for others experiencing this issue with their SUV's and haven't come across any post. My issue is the rear camera along with the driver's side reverse light fails to come on. are the two related or do I have separate issues? Please I would appreciate if anyone has a solution to my problem. thanks

Wouldn't it be logical to at least check the bulb?

I am not sure if your trying to be sarcastic or helpful. I will lean towards you are being helpful. The first thing I did was change the light bulb. Afterwards I check the fuse and everything seemed in order.

So then why didn't you include that in your opening post? And you can take my question any way you like.

I am sorry for not including the fact I did the most basic things first, that shouldve been common sense to the average DYI guy. Now that we danced around between our replies, do you have a solution to my problem?

The other common sense thing for a dancing Mercedes owner is to ask the computer what's wrong with the car, using a scanner that understands MB codes and can query all the systems in the car. The car does talk, but you have to listen.

Three options: Take it to a dealer, take it to an independent shop with a Star Diagnosis computer, or
buy one of these. buy one of these.
