Lights out...
Hi . I'm new here and it's my first thread.
I have a simple question to ask and maybe it can be easy to fix for some.
My lights that illuminates the temp gauge ( three circle below the radio)
DoesnÕt work when the head lights are on. IÕve checked the fuses and seem all ok, do I have to change the bulbs? Is this easy to do?
Please help.
Jimmy

Sure is, just take the COMAND center out with MB radio keys, then remove the two retaining screws for the wood trim and the whole thing practically falls into your lap. To get the A/C dials out, there are 2 or 4 more bolts (7mm, I think).

When it's a 1999 over 50k miles, which is over the warranty period, I wouldn't be here asking, now would I ??!!!.. DUH!!!

Okay, okay, calm down everyone before a cyber-fight breaks out and I have to separate you two. To get the wood piece off on your ML, all you have to do is unclip it. It just snaps in, no screws holding it on. Try starting from the very bottom of the wood and prying it up. Be careful you don't scuff the dash though, put a towel or rag underneath where you're prying. Once you get the wood off, unplug the switches from the backside. Then take the screws out that hold the A/C dial assembly in place. Disconnect the control cables for the dials. Then there's a trick to getting the bulb out of the backside of the dial. You can use a small pair of needle-nose pliers, but don't squeeze too hard or you'll break the bulb. OR you can find a small diameter rubber hose, and slip it over the bulb. It should pull it right out, if it's tight enough.

hi again...
I got to the light bulb, and it's as small as one of those christmas light bulbs.
Now would you know where I can get one of these online?
