I would say your headlights have burned out. Often times people will lose one and not notice until the other one also burns out. If you can get someone with a voltmeter to check at one headlight for 12-13.8 volts while the headlights are switched on. If voltage is present at the connector then the bulb is burned out most likely. I've seen this many times. Your high beams probably work.
Check fuses and head light relay. Do they fail in manual and automatic switch position? Are you getting headlight error message on your dash? I assume most mercedes cars check for blown bulb.
A bad ground at that bulb sockets can cause the light to fail too .
SOURCE: need to find battery location: 1999 Mercedes CLK 320
Hi, The battery is located in the trunk, under the trunk mat.
SOURCE: 2001 mb clk 320, my ignition switch will not turn.
Hi there
I had something similar on my merc
but yours sounds similar.
the fact that you say the steering lock no longer works is very worrying, most times the key not going past position 1 is due to the steering lock being actuated and the pressure in it has to be released before the key will turn, you will have to go from lock to lock the find where the steering lock actuates when this happens follow my wiggle method of turning the steering wheel slightly when the steering lock is on the disengage it. ie keep trying the key whilst wiggeling the steering wheel.
hope that helps
SOURCE: mercedes clk 320 will not start
i have a 2000 clk320. it would not start sometimes, the engine would crank but it wont start. but after an hour or so it would start. sometime i'll get somewhere park, and come out an hour later and the engine would not start. if your having the same problem, take it to autoparts store ex: autozone or kragen. they could check your battery for free. and if its not the battery. than it could either be your fuel pump. or the crank position sensor. good luck. hopefully this help.
SOURCE: my clk 320 mercedes wont shift into gear? what is
just had the same problem today...there is a small square false door just below the D on the shift plate...the tow guy put a pen into that door and i was able to shift it out of park. now the car won't shift gears as i drive because the car is in 'safe mode'. disconnect the battery to correct. the shifting issue is still unsolved but it appears to be an electrical issue in the transmission but NOT the actual transmission. hope this helps
