ABC Malfunction Pump Running
I have a 2003 SL55 AMG it sat for like 2 Years its a no start but in order to move or work on it i need to raise it up.
It sits on the ground and all it says on the reader that it is too low, i can hear that the pump runs and runs but nothing happens it will not raise.
Any suggestions would be great.

thanks

The abc pump runs off of the engine, if you can’t start the engine, you can’t raise the car. You are more than likely hearing the SBC pump.

ok that would make sense, I have to figure out then why I don’t get fuel to the front. I put in gas but the needle does not really move at all.
i disconnected the fuel line in the front nothing comes when i put the ignition on. I checked all fuses they seem good.

thanks for the answer

The fuel pump may be stuck from sitting for 2 years, unfortunately getting to it to check voltage requires jacking it up
Its not very accessible

Thanks, i will try to get to it and Check, it is also strange that the fuel gauge will not really move, maybe the sending Unit.
