Description of the problem	While driving home from work, a warning msg came up for me to check the left tail and brake lights. I got home and checked the lights on the left side and none of them were working. I had these checked and was going to replace the bulbs. Was told replacing the bulbs was not going to take care of the problem. The wire harness had caught on fire and melted the wiring and the board!!! This is the 3rd mercedes i have had and i have never had this problem. My problem is i live 1 1/2 hours away from dealership and i don't have the extra time to take off from work and have this checked! And than be told, i have to pay to have it fixed.
