My front SAM on my 99 CLK 430 has died and all diagnostics point this direction. (Horn, turn signals, windshield wipers and fluid pump motor, hazard lights all not working). I plan to buy a used SAM module (mine is the 019 545 5632 part number) and install myself. I can't figure out how to actually remove my existing SAM from the bottom of my fuse/relay box assembly? I can't get it to budge even though all pics I have seen show it only attached by two "posts". Anyone know the trick to getting it off?

Also, I assume that if I get one that came off a CLK I won't have to reprogram it to get it to work on my car. I have heard conflicting info on this just want to make sure before I go through all the effort.

Thanks for any help!

Guess I'm just going to get one off ebay and give it a try.... odd no feedback since I know this is a fairly common problem with w208. Oh well!
