New Owner, A Few Issues

[kaiser1828]

hi all,

I'm a new owner as of yesterday evening. Bought a is250 executive privately, 2006 with 60k miles.

I'm still trying to work out all the gadgets but my immediate issues are as follows:

1. I can't get the headlights to work. Only the parks, fulls and fogs work,no matter which position the stalk is in i can't get the dims to work.

2. I can't hear any beeping from the parking sensors,the green "p" symbol is on the dash but no beeping.

3. srs airbag light is on but I assume I'll have to visit a dealer for this!?

any help would be appreciated.

Hi

1. Could simply be blown bulbs or a fuse - check fuse first.

2. No idea

3. Definately a dealer visit - try and disconnect the Battery for 30 mins to reset ECU. If light still comes on you have a problem.

However as all of these things are electrical it could be an electrical fault somewhere which is causing all 3 problems.

Didn't you notice these things when you bought it. If bought on eBay or somewhere like that the seller should have told you about these faults. I would go back to the seller and ask them to fix the problems (assuming they did not mention them) However if you saw the car before you handed over the money then its your own fault I'm afraid.
