Interior light switches not lighting
The set of switches that includes the rear courtesy light, antenna, sunroof, and rear window defroster no longer light up. They were working before I pulled my console wood to replace a window switch, but now, nothing. I'm suspecting it's going to be something really obvious, but seeing as it's dark out now where I live, it's probably going to have to wait until the weekend to be fixed. Is something connected in series underneath that center console wood that I possibly forgot to reconnect?

I am guessing its the "spider". Each of those switches has a fiber optic cable going to them and they feed to one light behind the same panel. My lamp has been out for a long tim, so I do not have those lights either except air recalculation.

or Pic 72: PeachPartsWiki: Replacing the A/C Evaporator If you have cluster lights, then probably the fiber optic distributor came loose; if not, then maybe the rheostat or the fuse. Pop your ashtray and see if it's really bright in there. You might be able to access by removing the ashtray and/or radio. Otherwise I think you need to remove the A/C PBU. |

I did recently replace the PBU as well. I didn't mention it because I didn't think it was related. But as with all old Benzes, better to put TMI out there than too little.
