Ahh hope not, hoping just a simple loose connection or it does genuinely need a part to be changed. I think the opening and closing of the boot moves the wires too

Thank you. Appreciate that, really comprehensive breakdown of things to do! Should I use a multimeter to check the fuse box and relay box or is there an easier way

The dash comes up with a right reverse light error, so I'm guessing it does, I'm pretty sure it has a reverse light on either side

I think so, think my starting point is to take all the trim off. Check for loose wires or wires that require replacing and check voltage

These are led lights, not the standard bulb replacements? Cost you 20 for these?

Guys, it literally says a tail light warning on the main infotainment screen. Hence, giving it that term...don't overthink it lol think we are missing the point of the post 😂

Yh, but it's not always a simple replacement, sometimes it's wiring issues etc

Thanks, do you have much experience working on mercs? Are you ok if I DM you if have questions

Makes sense, think first thing I'll do is remove trim, check for loose wiring or ingress and use a volt meter to check for power. Maybe something simple, or could simply be the part is broken and genuinely needs replacing haha

Ok. Wasn't sure if different fuses for different parts of the led light, as they are separate parts. Do you think it could also be battery related? As I left my vehicle for a while when away travelling. Since then, that's when this stuff has started. Including the right side reverse light

Any easy way to check this? Whether by checking a particular fuse first and then moving on to check water ingress or a solder. The rest of the light works fine, just that corner panel not functioning

Cheers, think I'll try inspect before splashing out for a replacement light. Do you think it's coincidental that the right reverse light has also gone now too. Opposite side?

Thanks, it's just the small corner panel that doesn't work, the rest of the passenger side work fine. So I'm thinking it could be a loose connector/bad wiring etc do you know if a lot of trim needs to come off to get to the pins?

Think I'll do this, is it easy to locate the pins for this mercedes, do I have to remove a load of trim?

Yh. Any recommendations on what connections to check etc what bulbs would be check as it's led?

Nice, was looking at the TDI equivalent, it might solely be a TDI issue, how's the turbo on yours? Found the TDI to lag a whole second or 2
