ML63 Shifter Buttons

I have a 2006 ML63 and it has the normal AMG steering wheel where it says '+' on one side and '-' on the other.

Problem is however, the shifter buttons work like a normal benz, in that both buttons will make the transmission go up and down, depending on which end you push on either button.

The AMG ones are supposed to only go up on one side and down on the other.

Any ideas?

Michael

Yeah must have been. I've got some silver AMG paddles now and I'm installing them next week. I know they will work for sure because when you look at the wiring harness, the '+' shifter has the pins different to the '-' one.

I'll post it up when it's done.

Just installed the iPod kit with amplifier and that was easy
