Hello and thank you for viewing. In this video I explain the process of checking for power at any Mercedes-Benz light socket.
When the SAM control unit does not see the correct resistance it stops voltage flow to the circuit so if you are checking for power at a light socket you will NOT find any until you activate the circuit with a scan tool.
I hope this helps.
you can find me if you need help at

Thank you.

Actually just changed headlight bulbs in my c207 chassis earlier. Good timing! Did get the "check right fog lamp" message & failure would come after a short drive. (Guess it was the beginning of failure rather than complete failure.) Also had a "adaptive high beam inoperative" message which I assumed came along with the bulb dying. Either way, thanks for this vid

Only watched 1 video and had to subscribe. Such a simple yet concise video. My dash light came on telling me I had a light out a while back but then would go away. Now it is finally on consistently and my passenger low beam is out. Replaced the bulb but it still didn't work. It's a 1999 SL500 Sport with 55k. If you have an idea please share. Will be watching your other videos especially the scanner one.

Love it, keep the MB & especially the R230 tips coming. I have an SL65 so anything V-12 related you can reveal from that SL600, pass it on. I would welcome more clarity on how the consumer batt & starter batt can assist each other, if at all. Some folks say you can charge both batteries with one charger, but I think that's completely wrong and use two tenders. Like David G, I also use the MBII, but can't recall if that scanner will do the light tests.
@MasterTechLou
@MasterTechLou 4 года назад
Thanks man, no MBii will not do that, also no you cannot charge both batteries at the same time., sorry on the delay apparently there is an issue with my notifications.

I currently have both issues on my sl500 r230, driver side low beam e1e2, bulb flashes about 10 times, and goes out, getting my bi directional tool in a couple days to perform some actuation tests. And on the passenger side I have no indicators on that dash and my passenger blinker as well as my horn, they are not working. Hope to trouble shoot and find the issue. I was told right blinker and horn run on the same wiring or ar apart of the same harness and could have been a rodent that chewed a wire but as you say if the same thinks it's fine.. might be time for a new passenger SAM sadly.. I hope not but we will see after further diagnosing..

Hi Lou, Nice vid keep em going! Question about the Actuation function on the scanner. Does the MBII scan tool have the same option, It never crossed my mind to check if it has it while i was doing scans on my bad driver SAM. 3rd like is mine keep up the good work Lou and thank you for you help as always.

I have a 03 ML500 w/bi xenon system and a 2023 Launch CRE for Benz and my low beams have failed. I have searched and searched but I cannot find either a low beam, or a high beam actuation function in my diagnostic tool. I have seen no fuse(s) or relay(s) for the low beams at all. All lighting functions with the only exception being the low beams. When I use the switch to turn on the headlamps, there are two pins for the low beams with voltage. One result is battery strength at 12v and the other is 1.19v I believe. It is irregular that both low beam bulbs would burn out at the same time. What else can I check? I do have a new set of HID bulbs OTW. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

@MasterTechLou
@MasterTechLou 2 года назад
If the dash shows there is a bulb out, then the issue is with the wiring to the socket most likely, if the dash does not show there is a bulb out, yet there is, then the issue can be a sam, but you do need a scanner to do what I did in the video to be sure. there is no other way to force power to the bulb socket. also be sure to not use led bulbs, and try swapping the bulb to the opposite side to see if the issue moves to that side or stays on the faulty side.

@@neildixon6918 wish I could explain more but it is explained in the video. Need to use a scanner to activate lighting to test also if the dash says light is out but its not then its most likely a failed control unit. But also you have to use the correction bulbs in the sockets. The module senses resistance, and if its not correct it will cut power to the socket.
