The correct clip is A0008230245. My original was black and the new one was orange.
The above picture shows how this clip is an extra lock to hold the plug into the Multi-Function Switch that we are replacing.

Reason: Adding location of installed clip
The only part of this project that wasn't completely clear to me when I started was where the holes were to access the spring clips that keep the airbag in place. The pictures below show the place that needs to be punched out on both sides of the back of the steering wheel and my T-20 torx screwdriver in the hole. Thanks to the video posted above for the recommendation to use the T-20. It is the perfect size to make this foolproof. Thanks to everyone (especially mekantor) who have contributed to this thread. It made this confusing problem a very straightforward solution!
Mekantor, can you help identify the part number for my VIN - 4JGDF6EEXHA765659
Local shop told me 166-900-95-07-9051, but I can't find a reference to that anywhere. I'm guessing there's a newer part to cross reference.
Thanks so much!
That number matches, but also 166-900-04-08-9051 comes up. They both seem right, neither is a replacement for the other.
But, the one you gave doesn't come up in any online catalogs. This other one does show results: https://www.benzpartshq.com/oem-part...16690004089051

9051 is the color code for Black.
Thank you very much! I think the parts gal at my local dealer was just having a bad morning. Basically refused to give me any info and told me that i couldn't get the unit. I bet she knew there was an another one that could be purchased easily :-)
You sir, are doing a great service. I hope life pays it forward to you!
I'm here late in the game, but thought I would ask anyway. I have the same "blind side assist inoperative" and "turn signals quit working" issue in my 2013 ML-350 that others have outlined in messages above.. I must assume that the turn signal module should be replaced. I have watched the video above (by gladerider) and will watch it a couple of more times before attempting this. I just bought the iCarsoft MBII (Enhance Version) OBD2 Scanner for Mercedes Benz and confirm the codes I suspect. Does anyone know if there any other videos available that cover the replacment of this darned turn signal module? Thanks very much for your advice.
