I have a 2002 C240, thought I had a fuel
pump issue, changed that after having a problem getting the correct pump. Contacted Mercedes and they said the part number was incorrect for that car. Funny thing, I sent them the picture of the part in the car and said the part never existed. Anyway, finally found a pump with the incorrect harness out of Montreal. Changed the harness and installed the pump, no luck. After a friend found the issue with a burnt connector on the rear sams unit, I purchased one from Mercedes and installed it knowing the one they sent wasn’t the same part number. Mercedes assures me it was the correct replacement for that car. Installed it and now no gas gage. Of course I called the dealership and they assured me I have the right one. They even offered to help out by me driving the car to their dealership and they’d figure it out for a nominal fee. Of course. Can any one steer me in the right direction on how to bypass the sams or wire it to get the gage to work. The misses was not a happy camper by now because it took six fuel pumps and about six months of research to get it this far. She was so upset with the lack of information from the dealership to get the correct parts, she went out and bought a Kia Soul. She said no more Mercedes for her. The car is now collecting dust in one of my bays. Any information that would help out would be great.
