Thumbs down 03 e55 amg Brake lights don't work.

It's been one thing after another ever since I've gotten this car. A love/hate relationship to say the least. Finally got my A.C. fixed and it now blows cold air. New achellies ATS tires put on bit now to try to fix my other issues. I really want to take it to my Local MB dealership but don't even know how to change my supercharger fluid nor even have heard of it. Plus they rack you a $100 labor an hour.. Anyways I just bought to new rear brake circuit boards for my tail lights hoping it would fix the problem. No luck. Still throwing tail light maufuctions for both sides. My LEDs on the top don't come on. The driver side flickers then turns off. Has anyone had this problem or any ideas on why they are not working? It would be nice if whoever put my BC coilovers didn't make a mess out of all my wires in the truck.. The other codes are SOS and SRS which I checked under both front seats and they chopped a wire to go into another which doesn't make any sense. Starting to think that I bit off more then I can chew getting this car..

My car is the same exact year as yours and I had the same issues with my tail lights.pretty much you need a new rear Sam module get it from any used mercedes at any junkyard thats an E500, that's also a w211 chassis, and then find a buddy with star Diagnostics for our cars and have them reprogram your rear Sam module to ur car your done

Sounds about right because whoever had this car last made a complete mess out of the truck. I could strangle whoever didn't take car of this beauty. On that note, does anyone in PA have a Star diagnostics??

Supercharger fluid? Is that like blinker fluid?

Pretty sure he means the Mobil Jet Oil in there. That is a thing. Could also mean coolant, since that has it's own pump, and technically I think it runs through the intercooler.

Problem solved thanks to shardul. It was my rear SAM module. Break lights work fine now.
