Need some help identifying a sensor/switch in the rear cradle housing
While removing the rear left 1/2 shaft I found this switch which appears to have a linkage that is damaged/missing and I can not find it on any of the MB OEM part web sites. It is mounted on the lower horizontal flange of the rear cradle on the Lh side only and I had to remove it to get the 1/2 shaft out of the differential. I have a graphic that shows the components, but this is the only one I have found and site does not even reference the parts, in the picture the switch is #19, and I am also interested
in #18 and 20 as they seem to be the pieces that I can not find.
Konigstiger, thank you for the response. I do not have the air leveling system, just the regular steel coil spring suspension. The part does look similar to what I took out, with the minor exception that it mounts on to the flange just behind and too the right of the red arrow in the picture where the two holes are in the cradle flange with two pre-mounted screws and 10mm nuts. I was wondering if it was a suspension position sensor for the ESP system or something similar.
