[TABLE="class: page, width: 100%, align: center"][TR][TD][TABLE="class: tborder, width: 100%, align: center"][TR][TD="class: alt1, bgcolor: #FFFFFF"]Hi peeps, just trying to learn about 500E. What is the common problem with the

car​

? So far I notice that when I step on the brake, lights on my shifter and ac buttons are flickering. Would that be the wiring harness? Another one is the warning light on the water reservoir is on even with water in the reservoir, please advise. Thanks in advance

And anyone know someone who cqn fix this problem? Im from the San Fernando Valley area. Thanks again.

You have some sort of electrical issue with your shifter lights, could be a bad ground or something. But it is not related to the typical upper engine wiring harness failure. The water reservior most likely needs a new sensor but understand that the light comes on when the reservior is half full.

A good independent repair shop in your area is Mr. MB Motors in Tarzana.

Ok, I'm sorry. Even the ac switches are flickering too. Yes, the reservoir is full and it still lights on. Thank you.

What happens if you fiddle with the little stick in the dash that controls the light intensity? Very often that pot-meter (?) is wonky.

That looks ok...i dont think theres issue on the stick. I found out the problem when i stepped on the brake before i turn on the prknlight i saw the lights inside was flickering and sometimes the right side (passenger side) fog lightms not working and rear tail lamp (right side too)
