I finally got to look at the brake lights - the third brake light in the rear window is burnt out! When the car comes back I'll change it and see if the bomb warning turns off. -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK '87 300SDL '81 240D '78 450SLC The FSM created the Diesel Benz http://www.venganza.org/

I was wondering if the Booth Purge should be expanded to include changing ALL bulbs. On 8/26/05, andrew strasfogel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Do the Booth purgative: Change ALL the fuses!! > -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK '87 300SDL '81 240D '78 450SLC

My 500SEL had a 7w bulb in the third light instead of the proper 20w bulb, which was enough under certain conditions (not always) to trigger the bulb sensor. Check them all, and also check for proper watts, and perhaps make (OSRAM?) or are those improper 1157 USA bulbs? Plus of course corrosi

Actually, she is running Mobil1 now - but I will draw a sample for analysis tomorrow ;-) Removing the bulb behind the bomb icon should fix that computer though! Teach it to holler at me - yank it's tongue out! On 8/26/05, Potter, Tom E <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You have pissed off the master c

When just the running light was out, the bomb light only came on when the headlights were on, so I assumed (and we know what that stands for) that something had to be on, or it was yelling at me. I never thought about the brake lights - will check them in the AM. On 8/25/05, BenzBarn <[EMAIL PROTE

Nope. You still have a light not working. Could be the third brake light or something that only comes on when used. This system is pretty sensitive ( like the wife ) and will pick up on anything wrong.
