Re: [MBZ] GL towing/LED lights
I don’t know how that system works but on the 163 the light controller I installed senses the vehicle lights then powers the trailer lights independently with separate power.

[MBZ] W210 steering rack
I suspect its probably about time to replace the steering rack on the 99. Last time I had it on the rack I thought it looked like it might be leaking a bit. Couple of weeks I had to add some fluid then had to add some more the week after. Looks like it is leaving some spots on the driveway. It has about 221k on it. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
