Double check the turn signal light bulb of your Mercedes car. Make certain it is placed properly in the turn signal socket. Replace the signal light bulbs if there are corroded or burned. Check the correct wattage indicated in the owner’s manual and replace them with newer ones.

Left or Right Mercedes turn signal NOT working.

Turn signal either on the left or right side of your Mercedes car is not working when pressing the switch or the turn light doesn't stay on. In most cases, a faulty turn signal switch causes turn signal problems. The turn signal switch and wiper switch are part of the combination switch which is found in the steering column behind the steering wheel. Replace the combination switch by removing the steering wheel; no programming is required. Take note to disconnect the negative battery terminal. The new turn signal switch should have the same part number with the existing switch. To identify the compatible part numbers, call your Mercedes Benz service Laguna Niguel dealer parts department and provide them the VIN of your Mercedes-Benz.
