Gilly,

Your directions for fixing the shift gate light on my 500SL were 'spot on'! However... Fix one problem and up crops another!!!

In the process of replacing the bulb I somehow screwed up the cigar lighter (radar detector) and the bulb still doesn't work. Have checked the fuse panel and no fuses appear blown. Didn't pull them so it's possible one is cracked at/near the tip. Don't think I "abused" any of the wiring in the process.

Any idea what I might have done?

Thanks,

Don
