Top 20 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Questions & Answers

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. You need a local mobile auto electrician with a $5,000 pro grade scan tool computer. They can diagnose static issues but can also record exactly what happens to make the car shut off after 10 minutes and what happens 15 minutes later to make it start again. You can't guess issues like this on a car with so many computer modules and sensors. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me This says it might be the Crankshaft Position Sensor? https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+Mercedes+Benz+CLS500+cut+out+after+10+minutes ....

One of two things. First the master switch on the driver side died (unlikely) next, you lost power or ground to the switch. Wires break. Open the drivers door. Look to the front, you will see a rubber boot going from the car to the door. This is usually where the wires break. Just a note. When they break here, I solder a wire to the car side and run it into the door side, cut it in to the appropriate wire. trying to fix them in the jam is a real pain and doesn't last long.

I've replaced both headlight bulbs in my 2007 E550. It is a true pain. The bulb is way inside a plastic housing that has a cap on it. You can probably feel the cap and the "handle" in the cap. It unscrews. Then the bulb is several inches inside the "tube." It took a couple of hours for me to install both bulbs. This was after the dealer did it and actually didn't get one of them seated properly. There's a short document you can get from the mbusa.com website called 07E_OM.pdf that should help.
