If you remove the switch you can clean and repair most problems with them sticking.

Fuse for antenna is the same for central locking. If you have the original antenns (3 piece mast) most likely it is not the fuse it is a broken gear or bad control module.

Today's cars are controlled by a Powertrain Control Module (PCM), your engine's computer. To repair or modify your car's performance, you need a scantool to communicate with the PCM.

The Check Engine Light, the "Malfunction Indicator Light"or "MIL" for short, is on because your vehicle's computer self-diagnosed a fault that could cause your vehicle's emissions to increase. It doesn't necessarily mean your vehicle is polluting or has a serious problem, but it might. So the light is on to let you know something is amiss that needs your attention.

Trouble is, you don't know WHAT the trouble might be. It might be something that could lead to a break-down or cause expensive engine damage, or it might be something minor like a loose gas cap (yes, the on-board diagnostic on 1996 and newer cars can even detect a loose, missing or leaking gas cap).

There's no way to know what the problem is without talking to your vehicle's computer.

How do you do that? By plugging a diagnostic scantool into your vehicle's diagnostic connector, usually found under the dash near the steering column. These tools unlock the secrets that have turned on your Check Engine Light and tell you the nature of the problem.

Yet these tools are only the messenger. It's up to you to combine information from the tool with knowledge of how the electronic system in your engine works to make an accurate diagnosis.

Do remember to rate.

You must replace the turn signal bulb from instrument cluster. For this operation you should remove the upper plastic cover from steering column behind steering wheel, and extract the instrument cluster out from dashboard. Replace the turn signal burned bulb with new one, and refit all in reverse order.

heater solnoide faulty.sometimes can repair remove top cover clean out and check the seal inside.also make sure you got current at valve.

1- There are 2 fan systems in your car. One is a fan clutch. the other is electric fan. The electric fan is still working, but the fan clutch is not. Replace the fan clutch will take care of this problem. 2- When you put flat down on accelerator the car starts since at this position the throttle body open all the way making a correct air: fuel ratio of 14.6 :1. When you release the accelerator,the throttle body has to go back to it preset position and at this position it didn't make a correct air: fuel ratio of 14.6 causing the engine die instantly. This means your throttle body needs cleaned. There is a vacuum thermal valve at the top engine block to answer your question. It can be easily identified by looking at 2 vacuum hoses from this valve running down to the throttle body.

hello,good day,no, the alarm system is integrated in your engine management,try to use your spare key.,ty

i Is the engine wire harness original? or has it already been replaced?
if its original, this may sound crazy unless you already know that MB has a big problem with the wires under the hood.
But your car may need a new engine wire harness.
They start to crumble leaving the wires bare in places to short together and cause all kinds of crazy things.
Your car is at the perfct age to start experiancing this problem.
Unfortunetly the best way to cure this is to replace the harness.
A harness costs about $900 new, plus labor.
To check the harness, I unwrap the wires in several places on top of the engine by the injectors, and for the ignition coils and a few other places, I then bend the wires around a little, and look for cracking or crumbling. If you see ANY cracks in the insulation, that is not good .
To replace the harness is acually easier than it looks. it takes one to two hours, even less if you done one before.
There is a high percentage of the MB that I have seen, have this harness problem..

Good luck, and I hope this info helps

Get the proper tool to get it off. You should use socket wrench extension.

A ball acher, but check the starter solenoid Relay, by interchanging with another LIKE TYPE Relay, then if no joy, proceed to unfasten and clean ALL main line Power to... and Ground to... connections.Regards,DT

Would you wanna take the car for a scan? Then you will have some error code which i will give you resources to look up.

Visit:-

General issues = http://www.troublecodes.net/OBD2/

Your car = http://www.troublecodes.net/MB/

There you will be able to understand generated error codes at scan.

But I might want you to check the fuel system and the spark plugs.

Check the fuel pump and the fuel filter. And all the spark plugs.

I love this car.

Hi,
Still under warranty the shop was able to reprogram the climate control system and tell what was wrong rather quickly with a OBD computer.
That’s when they found both of the climate control (driver and passenger) side actuators were bad and the control unit that tells the actuators where they should be was also bad.
The truck was in the shop with most all the dash, seats, consol, and steering wheel out for a week. The cost was over $1200.00.

I'm not sure if that is a timed pump or not ? Could be that the timing is a little retarded an needs to be advance. Have you noticed an increase in black or blue smoke during acceleration ? could also be one of the injectors are not working properly at idle ? hope this helps.
