All brake lights are out on 1998 Mercedes E320?

Here are some possible causes for all the brake lights being out on a 1998 Mercedes E320:

1. Faulty Brake Light Switch: The brake light switch is responsible for activating the brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed. If the switch is faulty or not properly adjusted, the brake lights will not come on when the pedal is pressed.

2. Blown Fuse: A blown fuse can also cause the brake lights to stop working. Check the fuse box and replace any blown fuses.

3. Faulty Wiring: Damaged or loose wiring can prevent the brake lights from functioning properly. Check the wiring harness for any damage and repair or replace any faulty wires.

4. Faulty Brake Light Bulbs: If all of the brake light bulbs are burned out, the brake lights will not come on. Replace any burned-out bulbs.

5. Faulty Brake Light Relay: The brake light relay is responsible for switching on the brake lights when the brake pedal is pressed. If the relay is faulty, the brake lights will not come on.

If you are not comfortable performing these checks or repairs, it is best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for proper diagnosis and repair.
