2006 Vito 111CDi - location of SAM unit

[steve mowbray]

Hi

follow up to indicator problem in this thread:
http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/electronics/190627-2006-vito-11cdi-problem-indicators.html

Got a wiring diagram so now know the electrical setup but not the location of the SAM unit in the vehicle - anybody know where it is?

Thanks
Steve

I think it is in the fuse box under the bonnet and you have to move the ECU out of the way to get to it…just had a quick look at my Vito.

did you get your wiring diagrams from previous thread by the way...

I was told that it is underneath and is a pain to get at. MB dealer replaced it on the Viano a little while ago as it was getting choosy and refusing to illuminate rear and brake lights.

attached to the underside of the fusebox. If you imagine the fuse box/SAM is T shaped in cross section . the vertical section is the SAM beneath the fusebox.

look on ebay as there are some fuseboxes/SAMSon there to give you a better idea.
