Angry w203 C230 coupe: Where is the tilt/inclination sensor

I've been struggling with my radio freequency and remote central lock not working, it is blowing fuse 8!
I trace it to radio freq / alarm siren & inclination sensor on the diagram!

I'm trying to find out which part is faulty and causing the fuse to blow :-(
but can't locate the inclination/tilt sensor.

Where is the tilt/inclination sensor on a 2002 c230 coupe?

Thanks jrsmith,

I found it, light weight black box part number: A 211 820 91 26!

As to my problem, I am now sure that it is not the alarm siren and not the inclination sensor, then the possibility is the radio frequency antenna which I've learnt it is affixed to the rear boot window on the coupe! will they have to replace the whole glass!.?

I am 'ducked', I think I cannot avoid the stealership on this one :-(

I love this car, but ai, my toyota corolla was cheaper and straight foward :-/
