Parking Lights

Good Morning I just recently purchased a 2007 ML 350 with a few problems that I solved for the most part reading here. One is still ******* me , the parking lights. when I bought the car I had the parking light warning sign on and replaced both bulbs with no error code LED's. They work fine if I unlock the car or turn just the parking lights on. When the actual lights come on at night the left bulb starts flashing then goes out and the left parking light error come back on. It's baffling me. Thanks for any help.

Dan

Thanks for updating. Post your vin so I can look up the correct wiring diagrams.

Forget about the vin # as M/B does not supply wiring diagrams for exterior lighting.

When you say LEFT light, are you saying the left light as you are sitting in the truck or looking at it facing the front?

Here is a wiring diagram from Mitchell. Check the fuse. Check the front SAM for any water entry.

You are probably using AUTO on headlamps, but what happens if you turned it off and then turned on the parking lamps? Your problem could be with the Combination Sw. on the steering column. Test it in different ways.
