Replaced the compressor, the condenser and the pressure switch, Recharged the system, no leaks, no other issues. No matter what I do the system thinks the car is low on refrigerant gives code B119184. System will not turn on. Ebay order pressure switch? II have ordered another one. What am I missing? What else should I check?

There is no pressure switch.
There is a pressure and temperature sensor.
Check actual values in diagnostics.
Don't buy parts from ebay.

My. value is 0.0. bar., hence the replacement sensor. My apologies for calling it a switch. for the record, I didn't purchase the sensor, nor did I purchase the Chinese made condenser, or the used Compressor. I am an Aston Martin tech, was a MB tech years ago. I am just helping a friend's father who cannot afford this car. The Compressor blow up in a big way and I noticed the receiver dryer was filled with debris. Last time I messed with this cars was like a 2008-09 S550 with the old 5.5 273 motor, heck I started MB life working on M117 cars then M119 V8s, So I'm old. And Yes I agree, don't by junk, especially when its hours to replace.

Yes system will not run with sensor reporting 0.
Check output at sensor, if correct check wiring and control unit.
