Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / October 2005Right Rear side light
My right rear side light went out ( 1994 E320 ). After checking the bulb and fuses I had the dealer fix it for a few hundred dollars. They said a circuit board needed to be replaced when that light goes out. Two years later the light is out again. The bulb is fine - works in another plug - but there is no power at the right rear side light socket. Fuses are ok. Hate to pay another few hundred dollars to have a light fixed. Has anyone had this problem ? Had the problem on a E300TD 1999, its caused by the light cluster circuit board 'cracking' thus pwr contact is not made to the bulb holder. You can replace the circuit board yourself, its a simple operation. > My right rear side light went out ( 1994 E320 ).

If it's a crack in a trace, you can fix the circuit board instead. Simply scrape off abit of insulation on both sides of the crack and solder a bit of wire across it. > > Had the problem on a E300TD 1999, its caused by the light cluster circuit > > board 'cracking' thus pwr contact is not made to the bulb holder.

Touche! I'm having a similar problem with my right front head light. Could it be caused by the same circuit board? Where is the circuit board? >> Had the problem on a E300TD 1999, its caused by the light cluster circuit >> board 'cracking' thus pwr contact is not made to the bulb holder.
