The side marker light (SML) of your Bürstner plays an important role in safety and visibility on the road. If it does not work as intended, there may be various reasons for this. This article details common faults and their possible solutions to ensure that you can take quick and effective action to restore proper function.
Possible causes at a glance
- Elektrik: A blown or blown fuse and general electrical faults can be the cause.
- Lichtsystem: Switching off the vehicle lights or a defect in the SML lamps could be the cause.
Solution approaches
- Check fuse: Check whether the 5A fuse in the AD01 has blown and replace it if in doubt. This distribution block AD01 is normally located next to the EBL under the driver's seat. However, it may be mounted differently depending on the model - see operating instructions.
- Check the light switch: Make sure that at least the low beam is switched on.
- Visual lamp check: Visually check the affected side marker light. If the lamp is defective, LEDs must be replaced as repair is not possible. In the case of light bulbs, it is possible to replace the defective bulb.
When is professional help necessary?
If problems persist after testing and replacement or a general electrical problem is suspected, a specialist company or Bürstner service partner should be contacted.
💡 Our tip
Always have a set of fuses and possibly a spare lamp ready so that you can act quickly if necessary without interrupting your journey.
