Description of the problem	Tail light assembly burning up again. My 2010 mb c300 4matic sport had a recall to replace both tail light assemblies about 3 years ago. Now it is happening again and mb dealer wants $159 just for a diagnostic. Problems: dash warning messages started to appeal saying problems with tail light, brake light, fog light, turn signal, reverse lamp... Everything is out. Light bulbs looked fine but i replaced all bulbs anyway (from autozone parts), worked for a few hours, then warning messages showed up again. Replaced all bulbs again. Same thing. Then one day, messages stopped and everything is working again. Then a few days later, it started again. Went to a mb dealer (at chantilly, va) on 10/2/18 who wanted $159 just for a diagnostic test. I instead purchased a new tail light panel (lamp carrier p/n 204-820-15-00-05) at $20 before tax to replace on my own. Came home opened up the panel and found a burned wire. It even melted the black plastic housing of wire hardness and a black burned mark on the panel (carrier). Please see attached photos. This can cause a car fire. Also very unsafe driving because tune and brake lights are not working. Shouldn't mb fix this again at no charge? Please recall again.
