Passenger side taillight circuit board caught FIRE! as I was replacing brake light bulb 200 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be ont on  Fri May 31 13:54 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My 1992 240 drove me nuts for the same reason. One day I took the battle axe approach and pulled both tail lights, cut off the connectors soldered new butt connectors to both the circuit boards and the leads in the car. A liberal application of OX-gard on the circuit board bulb sockets and I have NEVER had another bulb out indicator come on. I found that it is most likely the connection to the circuit board that causes the grief - usually driver's side - mine actually melted and burned a bit. Had no reverse lights as a result. All fixed now though...


Good luck,


1992 240 / AW70/ 171,000kms
