Description of the problem	A message on the dash consistently appeared, advising to check right rear lights: brake, fog, tail etc. We checked the rear lights and found the plastic board that holds the light bulbs and wiring had melted. We purchased a new board from a mercedes dealer. After i installed it, it made good connections. The message concerning the right light has not come back on. However, the left brake, fog and tail message came on. When checked, the left board and wiring was also melted. We purchased another new board from mercedes.
