A/C and heating panel lights out on E430
The lights on the a/c and heating panel for my 98 E430 no longer light up. Believe this to be as a result of a short or bulb failure as they stopped working after hitting a small pothole...any suggestions of how to fix this? Is this a dealer only repair?

Radio Bulbs
Hello...This is 10min job for a baby.. Go to the dealership and get the bulbs.. You need the radio/ac unit removal tool.. Or make you own from some old hotel keys... That's what I did. You had to cut them to the width of the slots on the front of the radio, about 3/8 in wide then taper one side like a shirt collar tab. you can search the web for a picture.. Or like I said just buy them.. Pull the unit straight out then the bulb goes n the bottom

I just did this to my E430.
The tool is easy to make to pull out the control unit. Also, I found that the bulb didn't need replaced - it was the bulb connector that was not making good contact to the circuit board. So, I adjusted the connector (i.e. bent it back to original) and twisted it back in. Nothing to it! Good luck - if you need a drawing of the tool I can send it to you - I fab two myself in about 10 min. |
