Did my CL600 have a stroke - Right Side DEAD
After finally getting my 2003 CL back on the road after an ABC debacle, I find that the right side of the car is deader than Elvis. Window operation, front seat, mirror control, etc .... I've already re-wired everything that goes through the accordion conduit in the driver's side door and also replaced the door control module. No dice. Checked all fuses, and they are good. I've heard that after extensive down time (note that battery was either dead or disconnected for the few months the car was not being driven), there are a number of re-sets that can be done and that they may fix the problem. Also pulling and replacing fuses one by one (presumably when the car is on (?). Can't believe I'm dealing with this again ...

My initial thought is that it sounds like the power supply has failed to the front right Signal Acquisition / Actuation Module (SAM). It nestles in with the other Control Units in the equipment box on the right hand side of the engine compartment, behind the bulkhead.

Nick - Thanks as always. I think I may have picked up with this thread elsewhere, but I'm still at a loss. Are you saying that I need to check the power feed to the SAM or replace the SAM.
This is driving me nuts!

After reading more on the SAM (link below), I'm not sure the SAM would be the problem. Curious as to what you think of this:
