| We have a 2002 C230 with 120,000 miles. I have some electrical problems and not sure if they are related. The big one is we have no low beam, parking light or turn signal on the drivers side. The cable coming into the cluster has 4 functions,, including the high beam which works. I swapped all of the bulbs to the passenger side and they all work. I checked the fuse and it is good. I swapped it out with the passenger side and it is fine. I also checked the fuse box and there is power to the fuse. There is no power to the cluster. Am I missing a connector somewhere? Also the battery goes dead if the car is not driven everyday. We put in a new battery but didn't help. I don't know if this is related. Also have a bad noise through the radio so right now we pulled the fuse for the sound system. Any help here would be great. | |

I came up with two ideas, one vague, one more concrete. Vague: A glitch in the wiring harness from the headlight to a connector or junction box further up on the firewall. Concrete: Your headlight switch itself or the connector that plugs into it. |

You might say "but the fuse has power"...but I don't know a) if it fuses before the switch (don't have a diagram of it) and b) if there is a low beam fuse and a high beam fuse. Maybe that fooled us.

| For the past 5 months, I have a repetitive Check-Engine light from what seems to be a pressure surge in the fuel tank. I get an emissions code, usually gas cap not sealed AND liquid gas on the cap gasket. The tank pumps have been checked and the vacuum valves tested OK. The pump pressure sensors have been replaced and other connections checked. The problem just occurred again. Has anyone heard of a similar problem and what to inspect, test ,etc. The repair shop seems unable to solve this problem!?! | |

Replying to: SailrPete (Jan 25, 2009 5:21 pm) The computer is measuring a vapor leak or it "thinks" there is a leak because the pressure does not change AS IT SHOULD. To test the car by yourself, do the following: 1. clear Check Engine light. 2. fill up your tank TO THE TOP and make sure gas cap is sealed well. Run the car until you spend 1/2 of the tank. IF the Check Engine do not reappear, you have fake call from your computer. Hopefully, first or second test will help you out.
