Turn signal issue
1997 SL500 the turn signal will only flash on the left side regardless if the lever is in the left or right position. the right side will not illuminate at all.
suspect the steering column switch but not sure. the wipers work.
is this a known problem?

Exactly Same issue!
1) hazard lights work perfectly for both sides
2) left signal becomes right. Right is right.
I think our problems are exactly the same and maybe because I'm on a left hand drive (driver on right) so our symptoms are opposite.

If the 1997 SL, R129 use the same wiper, turn signal, combination relay as the as the 1992 SL (Part number 129 820 10 26) the relay might very well the problem
I have to open up this relay on my car because the right side turn signal stays lit all the time (Even when the car is stopped and locked)
So i have to take off the negative battery cable so i do not drain the battery..
