Rob pay close attention to the polarity on the connection MB/AMG has an adapter/extender that reverses the ground (brown) wire. So check it with a VOM.

Pull apart the connector plug on the side that does not work and rotate "180 and plug it back in. This will get the polarity where it needs to be, It is an easy fix.
