If it uses taillight socket arrangements similar to the W210 there’s a good chance t’s just corrosion.
Youngest son’s 2002 E320 has a reverse light in the trunk lid that is intermittent. I’ve tinkered with it numerous times and no matter what I do it seems to have a life of it’s own. New lamp, cleaned the contacts, etc., etc. Just a lousy design. Headlight squirters in later models seem to be a failed effort to clean the headlights. I’m not sure that they’re effective, at all. -D > On Jul 22, 2022, at 7:39 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > There is a pneumatic pump that both blows and sucks to open/close the doors > and trunk.
