    Love your channel man. I just bought a 2004 SL 600 and I’m loving it, but it needs a lot of love. I’m putting your vids in my research notes of what I need to be aware of.

    Mercedes saved us a lot of trouble by separating the system control modules/ Signal Acquisition Modules from the communications system. You have got to sponsor a car show this Summer. That would be super cool. You ever start up an m113 that sat for 3 years or more?

    Funny I have a S500 2000. I don't have the fuse box on the passenger side, I guess I got a car that's called a pre-facelift so they didn't install it there. My 7.5 number 78 is located in the rear passenger seat. Woke up to go to work today went to turn my key wouldn't turn. I hope this works because my car actually is a great running car I don't have any problems with it at all. When I got it the airmatic system was down. Got that fixed, a little electrical problem cost me about 300. Stop and the fuel pump. At 212,000 mi my transmission went. Replace it for 2100, cars been a joy ever since. I recently had a blowout back in February. That caused my aromatic system to just act up, I got rid of the horror magic system and just put a regular suspension with spring and coils. Trust me, if you guys are having problems with your air mattress system just replace the suspension and you're good to go. I'm heading up to the auto parts store to grab these fuses I'll let you know if it works 🤞🤞🤞

    This has been helpful i found the fuze blown on 78. I still need to diagnose further because i got it to run again it sounded good for a few seconds then the fan went into hyper speed mode and the car cut off again fuze blown again… my next step is to check this battery you just showed us in the wheel well. I’m hoping that’s it because it doesn’t look like this water in my Sam unit and even as an electrician I’m a little intimidated of replacing that

      @@paulyp9561 Usually when the fan comes on full blast, there’s a short somewhere. The ECU turns on the fan to prevent engine damage. Something is fooling the ECU. Look for a short. Start with the alarm horn. Do you have a scanner?

    Regarding the alarm unit. Does removing it entirely cause the blinking issue? Basically for me (sometimes) when I lock the doors the car lights will blink. Hoping if I just remove it entirely that problem will be gone

    I was attempting to start changing my coil overs on my cl500 and since it was low I had a block tapered to where I can drive it on to get clearance to jack the front end up, as I was driving it on the car cut off within a few seconds I seen smoke on the passenger side fender area, it wouldn’t turn the key and I replaced the eis fuse 3 times it turns the key but the fuse over and over pops so obviously I have a short, and it still produces smoke so I have a bad short has never done this before, do you know where I should start looking for the short it’s not coming from the fuse box area in the passenger side, it seems like i may have to remove the front left fender to gain access or move the wheel well cover but I can’t even jack it up since I can’t drive it on the block, do you know what maybe causing this any feedback would be a blessing 🙏
