Mercedes C Klasse Car Lighting Fault

Experiencing a fault with the car lighting system on my 2014 Mercedes C Klasse gasoline engine. The lights switch on without command, and an error is registered. Suspect a defective cable or plug connection associated with the light switch. I am anticipating repair costs in the region of 95€. Has anyone encountered similar automotive switch issues with their car lighting?

That sounds incredibly annoying. I have a C Klasse too, though not the same year. The dashboard lights doing their own thing? Had a similar situation once, though not exactly the same. Was it the car switch itself? I'm wondering if there were any other electrical issues, or did it just start happening out of the blue?

To clarify, when you mention 'similar situation', could you elaborate on the specific symptoms you observed and the diagnostic process undertaken? Did your issue manifest with any discernible pattern, or was it entirely random? Further details regarding any related electrical anomalies would also be appreciated.

Okay, well, symptoms...it was like the dashboard lights would flicker, really randomly. Then, sometimes the headlights would just come on. No pattern whatsoever. I thought it was possessed! Couldn't figure it out, so took it straight to a workshop. They sorted it, but honestly, not sure what they did. Best bet is to get it checked out by someone who knows their stuff!

I appreciate your insight. Based on your experience and the potential complexity, I shall proceed with a professional diagnostic assessment. Upon inspection, it was indeed determined that the light switch needed replacement due to internal failure. The repair cost aligned with my initial estimate. Thank you for your advice.
