Reverse lights flash on/off when car is put into reverse; Mercedes 98 E320. Also the rear center brake light does not work at all. All of the bulbs have been checked/replaced so they are not the issue.

check gear box oil level

usually pretty easy to change on most vehicles look on back side inside trunk may have carpet covering your light pull down to see light sockets

I recently tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a website and it actually helped me repair transmission problem in my jcb 3cx site-master. It would'nt move forward or reverse, engine was good both solenoids for forward and reverse worked, but still couldn't diagnose the problem.
I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and now it works perfect! covers wiring, codes, diagrams, torque specs, PCV, everything
got it from www.reliable-store.com

CHECK ALL FUSES FIRST, CHECK FOR LOOSE WIRES OR CONNECTIONS IN BOOT

Copy the passenger side wires they should be the same color except the blinker.

either the bulb or the switch on the gearbox

the car goes in safty mode if there is an issue with the tranmission. even it there is low fluid levels, it has to be reset with a diagnostic machine prefebilly MB star

mercedes did nothing wrong your transmission is probably blown up. no way they could put in the wrong parts they wouldn't fit. how many miles are on your trans now? did you ever do a transmission service on the transmission that mercedes says is lifetime fluid? dont do back to the dealer find an independant shop that specializes in mercedes, like the one i work for. the dealer doesnt care about its clients. Us independants honestly do care

You have a reverse indicator switch on you transmission. You will need to make sure that it didn’t come unplugged or that the wire didn’t break. This is a single wire that should be close to the rear of the transmission.
