RE: [diesel_mercedes] Charging Lamp

 

Faint glow of charging indicator bulb at idle may not be bad; ask any pre-1967 VW owner.  Bill in Oregon

OK, I have no idea what I really did today. Removed the cluster the other day enough to get to the bulbs. Found bulbs missing for brake pad wear sensors, no bulb for seat belt, no bulb for high beam.

Put new bulbs in except for high beam(there was no receptacle for it). Turned the key to on and same ole same ole, just a warning light for emergency brake preglow.

Took the main connector off and reinstalled. Pushed the cluster back in. Went to start the car and got the charge indicator light, brake and preglow to come on, started the car and the charge indicator went off.

Drove it around and have very faint glow at idle on the charge indicator. My idle might be too low, the tach doesn't work. Stopped the car, restarted and got the charge indicator light on again. So I guess it's working like it's supposed to.
