Hello all, I’ve just purchased myself a 2006 w164 ml320. I’m baffled but I don’t seem to have any power at all in the cigarette socket nor any other outlet in the car.
I’ve checked all the relevant fuses in the boot fuse panel but all were ok and replaced them for good measures but still nothing.... any ideas as i’m stumped

Maj. Dundee

With the key on, check both contacts at fuses 44, 45 & 46 in the cargo area fuse box with a test light or DVOM .

Londonml

Sorry for the late reply I had to buy a tester!
Ok so no power showing in all fuse connections? as in 44 45 and 46

Maj. Dundee

Was the key on or the eng. running while you tested them?

Londonml

The Key was in with the engine running

Maj. Dundee

Do you have a test light? If not get one.

What is your full vin#?

Londonml

Yep I have a couple different testers including the type in your pic! I’ll grab my vin when I get home

Maj. Dundee

By the way, is your truck gas or diesel?

Londonml

Diesel

Maj. Dundee

Is there anything else that does not work in the truck?

Londonml

Nope Not that I can see, is there anything on the same relay or line as the sockets?

Maj. Dundee

And what is you vin#?????????????????

Maj. Dundee

Yes, the rear wiper.

Maj. Dundee

Listen London, I want to help you but you are not helping me.

I have asked twice to post your vin# and you have ignored both requests.

Londonml

Sorry about that matey!
the vin is WDC1641222A120063

Maj. Dundee

Before I post instructions, have you checked both contacts at fuses 44, 45 & 46, with a test light?

Maj. Dundee

Please UPDATE YOUR PROFILE in USER CP to include 320CDI and where you live.

Londonml

Ok nothing on both contacts and probes on each fuse!
and updated my profile too ��

Maj. Dundee

And this was done with the key on or the eng. running, correct?

Maj. Dundee

Locate the Rear SAM unit in the cargo area and at conn. "G", find wire #21 BLUE/WHITE.

With the eng. running, probe the contact at the wire and see if the test light illuminates.

Londonml

It looks like my rear sam is different from the one insourcing pics?

Maj. Dundee

How so?

Londonml

Ignore my last the sam just seems to be located a different way around!
Mom tested slot 21 blue and white wire and no power here too. I tested other wires within the same connector box and they had power

Maj. Dundee

Did you just buy this truck, if not, you must have done something to one of the interior sockets to cause this problem?
