Recently acquired 2000 GLE has the following lights off (not working)
everything else works. I have reviewed the EL section on the FSM and I am stumped. Could not be fuses.

License bulbs (2)
(The power is supplied together with the Bose amp woofer and this is ok). I need this repaired, I will get a ticket if I do not.


Rear Marker Lights (LH and RH)
(The power is supplied with the Tails - Stop/Signal/Back Up, they work fine).


Trunk Light
(This is supplied directly from the battery, I need to check the switch, when you opne the trunk, the switch should be made, light should be on. The remote actuator is not working because the button is busted, beside the fuel tank button).


Of course I will check the bulbs individually, it could be feasible that all 4 went off at the same time. I will also check power into these.

Any ideas, suggestions appreciated.

Check the grounds.

 

I licked the problem this weekend. It was just busted bulbs. It was weird that all of them went out. Probably the previous owner never bothered to replace them.

$3.99 per set of 2 bulbs.

Now everything's working. Funny that I did a lot of research on the wiring and stuff from the FSM, turns our that it was only the bulbs...next time KISS...start with the simple obvious...

 

Good job. I'd bet the previous owner had bulbs going out one at a time, but never knew it. Reminds me I should check my rear lights...

 

License plate bulbs are a must, like tails and stop lights. It is a safety issue.
