Sam Location

Hi All, looks like i have no can bus communication from the internal drivers SAM

Where is this located, might have a look for corrosion or water ingress

I think it's in the door at the top front behind wing mirror where door card has a removable panel. I might be wrong but think this is where I was told.

Well unless the pre facelift is different to my 56 facelift which I don't think it is!. Mine has a panel on both front doors where if the door was shut it's where the door card meets the dash and it's dash shaped too. Can only be accessed with door open.

What is code of SAM you are looking for?
N69/2 is right door control module, located as described above, N10/1 is driver side SAM, aka fuse/relay box in engine bay.

Edit: if this helps..
Welcome to the W211 E- Class! note LHD car...

Many thanks. Found the door control units behind the door flap ( I opened my eyes lol )

Looks like it's the under bonnet Sam unit. Lids not fixed 100% so I'm thinking of water or damp ingress.

Electrical nightmare at the moment. Might just take the car to Acid in Birmingham. Think this is out of my league.

Taking out the front fuse box and Sam

If I find a problem can I just straight swap it out, or will the replacement unit require programming ?

Replacement will require coding.
