2011 ML350
Wink Air Suspension and Fuses

Hi,
New guy here. I have a 2011 first registered 2012 ML350 BlueTec AMG Sports and have had it for 6.5 years. I was lucky enough to get it with almost no K's on the dial.

I have two questions, the first being the engine bay fuse # 13 for the horn. The diagram shows a # 13A and #13B spaces perhaps for a triple(three leg as shown) 15amp fuse But only one 15 amp fuse is in place? The horn works but as I am nearly totally deaf maybe only one horn works? Why would they make a space for three fuse legs?

The second question is the Airmatic suspension. No matter where it is set, Comfort, sport or neutral the ride is HARD and I mean on rougher roads - HARD? The car will raise and lower ok but the ride is still hard on rougher surfaces. Not what you would expect from a Benz-OR is it?

Hope someone can assist
Cheers,
Graham

It's not a valid vin#, you are missing one letter or number.

Here is a copy of your DATA Card with all the options.

Before we get to the problems, update your profile to include ML350CDI and where you live.

Both horns are activated by relay KF, so if one horn works, the other one should too,

Open the hood, and remove the connector to one of the horns and have someone blow the horn. Did the horn blow loudly or was it somewhat muted?

Then do the same for the other horn.

[/QUOTEHi,
Thank you for that. Have tried that and yes both horns work BUT why is there provision for a "double" (three leg) fuse and why is the #13B fuse space vacant? A Mystery for sure....
In the meantime my Air Metic suspension still rides HARD and there is no leaks in the system?

Not sure who Major Dundee is but certainly quite rude!
Any ideas about suspension- why the Air matic is so hard riding?

You don't know who I am, I was the guy who was helping you.

It wasn't being rude, it was sarcasm. You couldn't even follow simple instructions to update your profile.
