hi,

I can't search a W202 specific answer: My highbeams work when I push the stalk forward but does not when I pull the stalk..... is it surely a defective stalk or is there some weird benz relay things that I should look into before taking my steering wheel apart and replacing it?

thanks.

Searched all of your posts to find this C220 W202

Chassis 202.022
Engine M111.961 I4-dohc
Model C220
Years 94-97

My best guess is a bad switch.

I too lost high beams for a while. This is a known problem to many. I got mine to work again by vigorously exercising the stalk.

I exercised it by standing outside the car and vigorously slapped the stalk back and forth. I figured there was little loss if I broke it. The fix is still good a year later.

Wouldn't that be considered spousal abuse?

Sorry, too much coffee. Like whunter, my first guess was a relay or switch.

actually related to this problem my cruise control stalk is also responsive only when it wants to.....

Do the 2 stalk share common connection somewhere??
