Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG Problem
Model Years Affected: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002
Verified
The third (high) brake light housings melt, resulting in a loss of
electrical contact for the light, which stops working. A
complete housing (contacts and lens) is needed to repair the problem.
On certain vehicles, if this happens, the anti-lock brake system will
not function. The brakes will work in normal mode, but not provide the
ABS control.
