Maplight Lamp

1998 E320 Sunroof/Electrical Porblem?
My sunroof, maplight and visor lights all went out. At first they would work again after the car ran for some time. Now they don’t work at all. The MB dealer thinks it it needs a new modular at a cost of $1500. Anyone else had this problem? Car is too old to keep sinking more cash. Already replaced both Xenon lamps & two window lifts!
I had a similar problem with an older Benz. The turn signals did not work at first but after the car warmed up they began to function. Eventually they failed altogether. Replaced the fuse of course and even checked the relay. But the cause was a multi-pin connector that was working loose. Look for these and any that you find either squeeze together or pull apart entirely, spray with contact cleaner from you local electronics place and put back together.
Another possibility is that all these have a common ground connection which has worked loose.
As already suggested, if the relay is the thing try mb spares and service in Australia or buymbparts in the USA for good used or new “old stock” parts sourced from closed dealerships. Don’t know about elsewhere in the world though. Check Mercedes Enthusiast magazine for English/European suppliers.
Also get the opinion of a specialist car electrician if you can find one before you lay out the cash.
Get onto one or more of the excellent MB forums on the net and ask there. Some of the people on these forums know certain models better than the designers.
