Hi guys I touched on this question in the thread I started on bleeding my IC pump, but want to post it separate in hopes of someone with the answer noticing the thread. Long story short I'm looking for the location (if any) of the IC pump fuse on our 219's. I've checked the diagram in the vehicle and don't see it listed. I also can't find any info on the web despite searching for days. Any help is appreciated.

Im replacing my Intercooler pump this weekend with my mechanic...I'll see what he has to say and let you know.

Thank you, I'll also be interested to know how robust the flow actually is when bleeding air out. Good luck tomorrow. The actual install wasn't bad.

So, mech came over and said where are the parts? I said I dont know you usually get them! After going back and forth Im ordering the pump and thermostat. I had a couple questions for you...

Does the Johnson Pump use the factory plug and play?

Did you change out the thermostat on yours while you were in it like Mercedes recommends ?

If so where can I order these parts from?

Thanks

There are a few good how to's here, but my factory harness was messed up (plugs don't match anyway) so I spliced it in with butt connectors and heat shrink. What i did for fitment was to bend the tabs of the bracket it came with to fit very tightly into stock bracket and tightened the stock bracket back into place. I didn't see any posts recommending replacing the thermostat so, I didn't. I bought my pump on ebay (there were quite a few on there at the time, but Google searches came up with suppliers too.

I think the thermostat replacement would be part of the actual engine coolant pump replacement.

Thats what I was thinking too and for some reason the dealer said to replace it...hmmmm
