Hi all,
My 1994 E280 won't start. It turns over nicely on the key but doesn't fire at all. I'd like to check the fuel pump relay but can't work out which it is!
Under the plastic cover behind the fuse box in the engine bay there are a few relays...
A big module, part # 126 542 03 32, can't remove it without more work.
A smaller (cigarette packet sized), black module, part number 201 821 00 47. I've removed this one, taken the cover off and see no problems or burnt bits on the PCB.
There's a small green relay, part # 126 820 20 26
Another green relay with a fuse mounted on it (fuse is fine), part # 001 542 96 19.
A blue relay with a fuse mounted on it (blown, I need to replace it), part # 002 542 01 19. I tried shorting the fuse holders for these last 2 to force them on, but they both activated the fans.
Lastly, there's an opaque covered relay, same size as the last 2, part # 001 542 78 19.
I can't hear the fuel pump because a retractable ariel comes up making a nice noise as soon as I turn the key.
I'm sure I can make some progress on this if any one of you knowledgeable guys can tell me where to find (and ideally, how to bridge) the fuel pump relay.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks.
Phileas.
