2000 Mercedes-Benz SLK - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

good day. Your slk is currently in 'limp mode' that's why it's stuck in first gear. you shouyld have it checked by a mechanic to reset the codes and find the faults.

Thanks for the answer. Funnily enough I posted the question in 2007 not in 2017. I had sold the car long time ago. In the end I purchased new RHD headlamps as nothing else was allowable.

You need to have the charging system checked. Maybe the alternator is bad?

under the bonnet 1 on both sides

For all radio codes follow this link: Car radio codes in Uxbridge London Gumtree

have you checked fuse for lights

Our wiper has stopped working all fuses seem to be fine, what could it be please

Remove the passenger side, lower dash cover under the glove compartment that conceals the blower motor. A 1/4-inch socket will be needed to remove the screws holding the cover. Locate the blower motor. The motor can be seen hanging down close to the passenger kick panel, disconnect the electric to the blower motor and then remove the screws that secure it to the ducting, drop blower down and out from under the dash. I would test the blower first with a 12 volt jumper cord from the battery made out of house lamp cord, it is not usually the problem but the blower speed control module that is next to it.

sorry not much info there ? is the indicator stem up or down just like vw parking lights ?????? this keeps lights on left or right ....more info need more info??????????lol

Most likely one of the pin switches that senses the location of the top for safety goes bad. Usually very cheap to replace. You can unplug them and jumper the wires to bypass to test to see if one are all have gone bad then replace as needed. One is in the trunk on the passenger side. Also remove any debris or personal items from the truck as it may see items in the way and cause a not ready to close top condition.

Thank you and good luck.

The micro switches for the hard top latches are bad and not sending a closed signal to the control module. When they stop working the control module doesn't know the top is closed so it doesn't raise the windows. Those micro switches are known to go bad. I have changed quite a few of them before.

Try wiping them done with a silicone type lubricant, this may revive the dried out rubber.

it may be the lite delayer box going bad

Your fog lamp relay is stuck open you need to locate it and replace it.Usually located under the hood in engine compartment in the fuse relay cluster.Open the cover and on the diagram detailed and numbered you will see fog lamp relay remove and replace this relay is most likely a dealer item.

your can check is it something stuck in the lock, first operate your roof either way, if you are going to open the roof as a first action boot lid will open to backward, let boot lid fully open and stop operating the roof, ignition off and have a look if something stuck you can see, if you are going to close the roof let close the roof and before close the boot lid stop operating roof switch, otherwise faulty boot lid lock, if faulty lock but you can try by mettle key blade which is in your electronic key, first take out mettle key from electronic key then insert mettle key in to the key hole in boot lid turn fully left and open boot if not work turn fully left and push it in, is this information helped you?

hey cheap ***** , if you could afford a mercedes you can afford to bring it to the dealer cheap ***

try renewing the reverse light switch its in the gearbox

It sounds like something got in the way of the latch when you closed it after putting your stuff in there. Take a screw driver and while gently prying on the door turn the latch at the same time. Once it opens and there wasn't anything jamming it then WD 40 time. Let me know how it turns out. Raz
