1 Dash Wiring problem of the 1999 Mercedes Benz SLK230

Failure Date: 09/14/2003

I've had a dozen bulbs/fuses blow during the life of this vehicle. I've owned other vehicles that never blew a single bulb or fuse over their lifetime. I just wonder if this is a way for Mercedes Benz to increase service revenues. They want over $100 to replace each bulb.
