Hi, new member tigertom750 here. Car is a 2003 E-class 220 CDi. Had asked for help with problem of boot not opening unless by key. Also malfunction warnings for 3rd brake light and number plate lights. Friendly McConnechy staff suggested looking for broken BROWN wire in loom running along left hand boot hinge arm. Found same behind boot lining (easily) accessed. Loom attached by tie wrap to a bracket which caused chaffing and breakage. loom very loosely wound by tape. I reconnected wire and wound it completely.with new tape the left it unconnected from the bracket. Saved me from paying a Merc speciallist £75 + vat just to check with no guarantee of finding fault. Hope thios might help someone else.
