Why do blinkers stay solid?
It sounds like you could have a faulty turn signal relay. A relay is a piece of electronics which flashes the light on demand. They are generally cheap and easy to replace, so I would start there. If that doesn’t solve it you could have a connectivity problem in the wiring which would need to be traced.
Why are the turn signals not blinking on my slk230-97?
It is a feat of plastic mechanical engineering and contains a folded flexible circuit board that would win any origami prize! I have the same problem with my SLK230 -97, the turn signals stays on instead of blinking. since they stay on it cant be a dry (i.e. bad) solder joint.
Is there a permanent fix for my 1996 SLK?
I’ve repaired the CCM/Multifunction module on my 1996 SLK and two others (1998 cars) as well. The permanent fix was to change the defective relay. I managed to source a replacement relay but had to buy a minimum order quantity so I do have some spare relays for sale.
How do you get the SLK indicator lights to stay on?
Lid on the box has 4 screws holding it on. Now – Remove the plug nearest to the front of the car – you will need to unlock it by sliding the grey toward the front of the car. There is a metal handle thing at this end of the unit, pull it upwards and it will release the rest of the plugs.
Why is my turn signal not flashing on my Mercedes Benz?
It could be a faulty module, or sticking relay on that module, or bad contacts in the connector, or even the switch in the signal stalk. Some have had some success by turning on the emergency hazard signals which seems to unstick the relays in this CCM, if that is the cause.
