I need some help with fog light fuse and electrical connectors

I bought a 2002 C32 recently, and I'm trying to get the fog lights to work. Driver's side was busted when I bought it, and amgmark sold me a used pair (thanks! ). Got the new light in, but still neither will turn on. After looking into the engine bay to try to trace the electric connectors, I found one disconnected plug on the driver's side,



and three disconnected plugs on the passenger side.


When I plugged in the passenger side plug with the green arrow, the "Check Light Sensor" error went away. Can someone tell me what the extra plugs go to, and which fuse is for the fog lights? Thanks in advance.

If you locate the passenger compartment fuse box (pull the panel off the far left side of the dash - it's only accessible with the door open) there should be a little paper pamphlet that identifies all the fuses in the car.

Yeah, my manual says there should be one, but there isn't. If you have one and could take a high-res photo of it that would be what I need.

I looked at my engine bay but can't tell were those connectors are. Looks like they are near the passenger front but I don't see any on my car - they must be out of view.

That is the saddest looking C32 engine bay I have ever seen. Did they pull that car from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean? There is rust in places and what is that white shi? all over the place.

lol. it's funny you mention that cause after the pics I took a stab at cleaning the engine compartment. it was pretty sorry. the white crap is something from the body shop - I just had the hood and bumper cover repainted, and they got that crap all over - donkeys.

Finally

according to a MB dealership the two plugs go to an optional axle leveling sensor or some nonsense that my car doesn't have.

Did you get your fog lights working?

Also, can you tell me how much you paid to have your hood and bumper repainted? I am going to be getting estimates soon and it would be nice to have a ballpark.. Thanks!

I did. The plug that went into the driver's side head light must have done the trick.

Hood, front bumper cover, and driver's side rocker panel cover cost $700, but the guy did a pretty crappy job.
