Failed Turn Signal
Hello MB Family,
I'm trying to figure out why my driver side rear turn signal failed (06 S500). I recently replaced both tail light assemblies and for a while they both were working. Now after about 1 week of use, the driver side rear flasher no longer works. I've switched the bulbs and bulb cartridges, tested each bulb and cartridge on the passenger side...discovered that both are good. I've sanded and cleaned the contacts using electrical contact cleaner, tested both bulb cartridges and still no flash. Does anyone know what else could be tested? Or am left to thing that it could be a wiring problem?? I even considered a fuse, not sure.
