Re: [MBZ] YAY ME X2!!!

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I put in a new air pump yesterday but it did not rise up last evening after I 
did that. It was pressurizing when I jumped the relay to run it but the system 
would not rise. Figured it might be something I knocked loose or forgot to 
connect back, like a solenoid connector in the distribution block. 

Interesting, I opened the trunk to get something and it set off the SOS call 
function. After that calmed down from its screaming fit several times (I have 
no idea what sets it off, the remote had no effect even though it was working 
to work the door locks). I started the car, heard the pump running and felt it 
start to rise. Got out and watched it rise and heard the pump running. It was 
in “high” mode on the console switch for some reason unclear. I hit it to 
release it and it dropped down an inch or so. Seemed to be fine. Drove it and 
all was good. No idea what the deal was but it works. 

Maybe the nanny just needed some time.

Re: [MBZ] YAY ME X2!!!

[mitch--- via Mercedes]

Had to jump the ML350.
Funny, it was working fine the last time I moved it, 2-3 weeks ago.
It died while I was taking care of the jumper cables.
Charged it for a half hour, fired it up, no trouble lights but dome lamp 
seemed dim and when I tried to turn the seat heat on it said not enough 
power.

That was Thursday.
After sitting on the charger a couple days, I fire it up and still no 
charge.
Today I hook up to it, clear some low voltage codes, and while browsing 
through the scanner menus the dome light blinks and seems brighter.

I turn on the seat heat and now it works.

So apparently I had to let it run for a while to get it to turn the 
alternator back on.
I take back the nasty things I was thinking about the brand new Remy 
alternator with 1000 miles on it.

Both transmission modes work too. And OBTW this thing is a hot rod. I
can’t even imagine what an E55 or newer E63 would be like. Very
entertaining.

That triplet in the W163 indicates the ABS pump is going bad. It will be 
interesting to see what codes you get out of DAS when you hook it up next.

Unfortunately it is now throwing codes for brake, ABS and ESP but the brakes 
are fine. Must be something from having sat for awhile. Bah. It’s always 
something.

In any case I’m counting this as a 2X win.
