huh? Forest is asking if you plugged in your SC? there is a single wire just to the left and slightly under the snout of the blower. if its not plugged in your not going to engage the SCIs your check engine light on? is there a warning in the gauge cluster? What happened prior to you losing the power to the SC? were you doing any other maintenance prior to this happening?

Wish it wasn't such a major pain to swap those babies out. I would say pop the other one on and see if she works again. Then you would at least know it was your new clutch or something.
Believe me I know.....much easier said then done swapping that monster out.
That Star test would sure be cool to see if you could have someone stand up front and hear it when it engages.
Then you would at least know that it in fact was being triggered by the ECU to engage.

Hey Dr, If I can ask you a quick question since you are getting plenty of experience with it. Are you jacking up the motor to get the huge bolt out or is there another way.
Thanks for letting me hijack for a sec.

Good deal. Thanks Pearl!
The recommended Benz method is to pull the motor mounts and jack the motor up. I always thought that was a bit of overkill.
