I feel you could’ve show more on the module take out and you could’ve showed on how to put the module back in of the new one that would’ve been very helpful

Thanks George You saved me a lot of money, I hadn't driven my car in over a year. Back on the road again. Yeah!!!

Hi how are you I have problem with my SL550 2011 no crank no power can you help me please

I subscribed and gave you a thumbs up. My Benz won't start a few days ago. I had it towed to a local shop. After a day I talked to them. They said they fixed the problem, and was a faulty fuse. He said he found a engine misfiring when he took it for a test drive. They wanted my authorization to continue working on it. I said no, I will pick up my car this morning. I do service on my car religiously, I change the oil less then every 5000 km or 3100 miles. I have never ever had a chech engine light. Now after 24 hours at their shop I get a "check engine light"? When I got home, I parked it in my driveway and locked the car. I always get a beep and flashing lights when Iock it. Now I only get flashing lights, no beep. When I call them to see how I can activate my beep, they said I need to bring the car to their shop and book another diagnostic appointment. Are you kidding me? So I end up with anther huge bill? Unbelievable. 😭 And they wonder why many people don't trust mechanics..

Outstanding. Thanks man.

Thank you it help me a lot the information is really helpful..

Thanx Georgie, very informative video.

thank you so Much George for the tip.

What about the metal part that broke? Do you have to replace that or the fuse that blew and broke it?

Air brake light? Great info by the way. Thanks

I don't have a Mercedes but thank you for sharing. I like it and think it will be helpful to many

ha ha ha LOL! I have a door which squeaks like yours. So I'm listening with headset and kept turning around to see who was coming in, was freaking me out til I realised it was on your reecording. LOL!!

Ok Thx for reply my car started up normal without do anything and I'll get diagnostic just to make sure nothing wrong with it.

Great videos My ml 63 amg starts good but no power in motorto drive Do you have any idea what can happen?tanks

How do you open the SAM module?

Awesome info bro.

Quick question : re: that piece that broke. If I hook up the battery to, let’s say a power pack or a self jumper, will the the car be able to receive power? (As long as it’s still connected ) reason why I ask is because I am trying to figure out if the piece even broke before I disassemble and order. Thanks!!!!

Yo Blackguitarist. The proper way to jump start your MB is, you don't need to go anywhere near the battery! Instead you pop the hood, then you look up on the left hand side above the engine and on top the inner wing, back aways toward the windscreen in the area seperated from the engine bay by a rubber seal that snakes it way right across the car. (could be on opposite side on some models) In that area you should find what looks like a small black plastic box with a flip cover on it about the size of match box though not quite the same dimensions. I looks like it may be hiding a relay or fuses. Often the cover is missing. If you flip the cover it should reveal a brass nut sticking up and nothing else, looks kind of odd. THIS IS POSITIVE LIVE FROM YOUR BATTERY SO BE CAREFUL! So connect your leads to the battery of the car you're using as your jump, then connect your red positive lead to this brass nut and your black negative lead to somewhere on the engine casting, anywhere that you can get a good connection, I usually use the engine lifting eye. Always do it in this order not the negative first as connecting the positive second makes a spark and may ignite any fuel vapours. Now raise the rpm on the jumper car for a couple of minutes to get some charge into your battery. Most likely you have someone helping you who drove the jumper car so they can sit in the jumper car with their foot on the gas, only a little to about 1200 rpm or so while you get in the dead car and crank her over, it should start easy. If you're doing this on your own then just sit in the jumper car for say five minutes with your foot on the gas to charge up your battery. (Or of course you can pull the throttle lever from under the hood if you know where it is, if you don't know then you'd better not try.) Hope that helps. Best, Guy.

It is not a good idea to keep the good car running while cranking the flat car. You are effectively shorting out the running alternator with 200 amps trying to crank the flat car ! Better procedure is as you describe to begin with : run the good car for 15 mins with leads connected. This is enough time to charge a good (but flat) battery. After 15 mins turn the running car OFF and then start the car being helped. That way you will never damage an alternator. You will get caught out one day leaving the good car running by destroying the alternator :)

@@timofglazz388 It doesn't matter what rating the alternator has! None of them are designed to have a starter motor strapped across them. Its like shorting the rectifier pack out with a 6" nail. I have not damaged an alternator myself but I know several cases of such damage where folk have left the engine running trying to jump start the other dead car and then wonder why their charge lamp came on afterwards ! I think you've just been lucky not to have damaged your own alternator jumping others with yours running . Anyway I guess we beg to differ so I'll carry on with my long tried methods because they work for me :)

Thanks

very much appreciate it Like..! even though I have no mercedez

Where would this module be located in the W210 chasis? I have a 2001 e430 is it the k40 module?

Would be able to tell me exactly i can find this module Or can I send it to once I know where its at?

I jus brought a 1987 300 same thing crack no start. I believe this is exact issue with mine I will take apart tomorrow or this weekend

Hi George my 2012 E class won't start after a crash. I opened up the sam and did continuity and it seems all the fuses are fine but the car still won't start. What can be the problem.

That's actually NOT the Sam module! it's an integrated fusible link platform, the SAM is on the other side where there are fuses and relays on top and the electronics are situated underneath on a ,motherboard.if you had a crash there would be a pyrotecnic high amperage fuse that would disengage the power from the battery in the event the vehicles fuel lines are ruptured or if any electrical loads get shorted to create a fire and create a safety hazard.

Sir, is this module located in the trunk near my battery on my 2006 S430? My battery is behind passenger rear wheel in the trunk. I have had airbag warning on dash for some time now. I gave the battery a good charge several months ago but no problems starting after that. Car has sat for about a month and I topped off the battery again but No juice when I go to start. I have power everywhere (I hear fuel pump etc). But just won't start. Blade Fuse checks ok. I ordered a $22 starter fuse which will be here tomorrow as a stab in the dark.

Hi, I have a 2001 s430 and the airmatic pump stopped working and the back ens of the cad dropped and it won't raise. Could you tell me possible reasons for it, it would be most appreciated and helpful. Thank you.

My front driver side axle broke off and was running fine up until that time. I noticed the broken axle out in the road while the car was still running, but then shut down and will not start. It is a 2003 Mercedes 430 S 4 matic. Does the fuse in the SAM unit need to be replaced (I have recently installed a new SAM unit) ? Lights come on, everything works but no power.

GREAT VIDEO, will it cause any warning or codes? or computers communication problems?

2008 GL450 was jumpstarting because battery kept dying overnight i purchased the vehicle driver jumpstarted got vehicle here now will not jumpstart but i do get power just no crank at all help Thanks for any input!

Hi. I have a 2004 SL 55AMG. DOES IT HAVE THIS MODULE? Thanks .

What just work for me was putting the key in the ignition leaving it on the on position and then tapping a jump onto the car the alarm did not go off in the car started right up

I have a 2007 ML320 CDI I crossed the jumper cables which threw some sparks.. the key was off at the time, now there is no power to the car, i removed the SAM near the battery but there is no fuse as shown in the video just a couple of large clip fuses and 3 small clip fuses. Is there a different location for the fuse?

Problem fixed, thank u so much

I have a 2006 sprinter. I replace the signal /wiper switch and put the power for the fuse box on the wrong bolt. Then realized the mistake then corrected it. Now I am not getting any electronic in the entire van. Only getting power in the lighter. I replaced some fuses add and still having the same issue. Any suggestions

First of all I got to say you don't show where this module is so you know you could have uploaded that and edited it in. Second you not really saying what Mercedes models on model variants are covered. Really should least put something in the description.

Hi, would this unit be located next to the battery on a 2016 model CLA?

thanks for the vedio but this is not the S.A.M. Module this is the Prefuse Box rather than that the video is fantastic thanks a lot :)

Hi there any help would be appreciated: 2012 Sprinter 3500, starting issue: Only way it starts up if there is a external power connection. The battery is new but still will not start on its own. I added a external pocket starter which has a digital voltage reader and sometimes it will show three - - - dashes and other times it will show 14.2v, now it will only start when there is 14.2v visible, im thinking a bad connection somewhere?? Purchased form auction

Hi, just saw and like your video on prefuse box repair. I have 2012 Mercedes E550. My electric steering malfunction code shows on dash. I did fuse repair in the prefuse box and it worked for a while but not working anymore. How do I troubleshoot this? Jim

i have a 2008 s550 it has 2 new batteries i drove it a lil bit last week and yesterday it was dead i had to use the key in the remote to unlock the door and tried to jump it but its dead nothing comes on. this was my first time using cables on it and the air bag has never been deployed. the SRS malfunction light was on last few times i drove it. do you think the SRS light has something to do with this issue

Top !!!

2011 E350 coupe. Engine cut- while doing 65 on freeway, entire dashboard lit up, coasted over to emergency area. Put in park then could not get it out of park roadside service could not get it started with a jump. Had it towed to house. Might this be the problem?

i have a problem with the circuit 15 sam module, the engine cranck but not start, could be the same fuse, all the accesories works, but not start the engine, thanks a lot.

George: what do you think here please: 09 GL320, powers up but message about do not take vehicle out of park, or something. I am not at the vehicle. CEL has been on for awhile. I put a small inexpensive scanner on it, and attempted to clear the codes. IMMEDIATELY thereafter this problem appears. Battery was disconnected about 15-20 min, and then started and drove normally. Now doing it again. CEL still on of course.

Holy crap, $50 on eBay. I'm about to buy a REALLY nice 2004 CLK that has a starting issue. A door was left open, lights on, and the battery died. Owner charged it and now it won't start. The culprit may not be the same exact part, but I'm betting it is very similar if not. MB's are known to be sensitive to bad battery charging practices. My (soon to be mine) CLK is waaay to cheap to pass up, given it could be a $50 part keeping it off the road, and in a worse case scenario I can get my money back by selling it as a parts car - it's that cheap. Thanks for giving me a little confidence, George! (Even if that is not the SAM module!)
