Hi All,

I found a copy of the fuse chart (sort of) online but I can't make sense of it. Can anyone tell me which of these fuses is most likely to be the one for the soft close doors? Also, it looks like I'm missing two. I suspect they're for some accessory that I don't have on my car Cheers..

Are you asking about a SL Mercedes? Not a S-class?
SLs don't have soft close on the doors.
If you mean soft close on the trunk (boot), then that is fuse 71, the yellow one in your picture. That is the fuse for the central locking pump (PSE).

Regards

Thanks David. Problem solved. I didn't realize the doors were not equipped with soft close. Cheers.

Hi David, would you be able to tell us were is the FUSE for soft close on 221 S Class 2013.
Will be much appreciated.
Slava.

Fuses for Central locking (on a W221) are:- 70,80,81,82 and 112
Might be best to ask for advice on the W221 sub-forum.

Hey Guys, while out shopping at Sawgrass mall (on vacation in Fla) I came out to a trunk that wouldn't close completely. The auto-close operated normally but it won’t latch down to a full lock. I ended up slamming the trunk down to close. I came out to my car this morning, started it up and the dash warning read “NO CONVENIENCE AVAILABLE” No radio or interior accessories worked. I let the car idle hoping to charge the consumer battery and shut the car off. Restarted and everything is normal. Do you think the trunk problem (possible leak) is related to the consumer battery being dead this morning?

Or the other way round, a dead battery causing the softclose not to operate. If the lock or something else is leaking air, the concerning section should shut down automatically (hence the pull the fuse trick which temporarily revives such defective section).

Referencing the photo in the first post, it should be the black one with the 20A yellow fuse, pull it for 10secs and insert again, you should hear the pump activate in the trunk.

If you keep having to do this every few weeks it will eventually go to every few days! You'll probably need to fix the leaks in your lock actuator very common. Failing that the impeller can crack and fail on the vacuum pump under the roof pump, left side of the trunk.
