Why are my left side marker lights not working?
A curious problem in my ’94 C280… Got the instrument cluster warning that I had a burnt out exterior light bulb. Checked it out and found that both my left side (front AND rear) marker lights were out. Checked the bulbs, and they were fine. Checked the fuse box, found that BOTH these bulbs are on one fuse.
How can I tell if my marker lights are out?
So if you inadvertantly had it in one of these two positions you might think one side of the car has the marker lights out. In short make sure when you check out the lights that the switch is turned to the RIGHT not the left. If the ignition switch is on this feature won’t work, the car has to be off.
Where are the side marker lights on a car?
Side marker lamps are the small front and rear lights on the left and right front fenders, as well as on the left and right rear quarter panels. Their purpose has always been to make cars more visible at night.
When was the side marker lamp first required?
When the first Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) appeared in the mid-1970s, one of the earliest was the side marker lamp requirement. Side marker lamps are the small front and rear lights on the left and right front fenders, as well as on the left and right rear quarter panels.
