    Resantly all the dash lights stared dimming on differant occassions. It doesn't do it a regular times so I was thinking the car might have a short somewhere. What do y'all think?
    Also the light for the wheel controls went out on the left side, how do I chande them?
    Thanks!

    I had a similar issue with my old camaro. Turns out the bolt that holds the power line to the alternator was loose. My suggestion is to test the voltage at the alternator (or take it to a parts store to test) and do the alternator rewire (back of alternator to + jumper post on top of the fuse box).

    Thanks!
    Assuming you have a 1997 - 2000, here's a link to an updated board that's a lot cheaper than the dealership part.

    I couldn't find full installation instructions, but a thread in another forum (link's on the product page) states it only takes about five minutes.
    2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG
    2002 Redfire Metallic Grand Prix GT Coupe (sold after 141,754 miles)
