defective bulb

These is a common problem with the rear tail light cluster on the W210. The issue is where the plastic that holds the circuit board fails and as a result shorting the bulb. Moving the bulb around a bit will fix the problem temporarily but eventually you'll have to replace the cluster. I just did so with mine after dealing with moving the bulb around for 2 years or so.

The cluster is not that expensive.
