Hello, Little help here interpreting the relay fuse diagram. The diagram says intercooler fuse is F51 and relay R located behind the passenger seat.

the diagram that came with the car seems to be different than what is actually there. Or maybe im looking at it wrong.

Help identifying the pump fuse and relay would be much appreciated

The Fuse Chart is WRONG!!! They are for a 2002 SL500...
The fuse chart supplied in the tool kit is absolutely WRONG!

I found this out with my 2003 SL55 when trying to find the cigarette lighter fuse. The chart suppled in my 2006 was the same has even more incorrect info for my SL65...

The ones I have seen are ALL dated 2002...

I can confirm that the fuse diagram that comes with the SL65 is not correct.
Why even bother to put it in the car if it is wrong?

Anyway, with the awesome help from my favorite MB parts suppler OE Discount Parts they were able to solve the mystery.

Yes, for my car. who know if there were changes car to car.

OE discount parts sent my VIN to Germany. And I am not saying they will do that for everyone. If you have a dealer that you work with Im sure they can send your VIN and verify the location. I have black and white diagrams showing the fuse and relay location for this car.

Thanks todd. I tried jumping the relay as per your original pic and it did turn the pump on and then I pulled the fuse and it shut off. So indeed it is correct.

Hello,

Yesterday I change pump in my SL 65 to Bosch 010.
Is it a way to bleed system after fully change the fluid ( evans 180' ) without any special tools ?
I know that pump need fluid from 2 sited- in and out to work correctly but when we put the fluid from cap it will flow only to pump input plug ?

How we can check that fluid circuit in the system works correctly ?
