My car starts instantly from cold start. Idles perfectly until approaching operating temp (80c) and then stalls. After stalling engine will not start again until completely cold, usually several hours.
Faulty ignition component/s. Usually an ignition coil and or ignition module.
Where is the cooling fan switch located?
The manual is showing the engine has a viscous fan clutch(clutch fan). This would mean the fan clutch turns the fan initially until it reaches a certain temperature.
I did a scan for codes with an OBDII Scantool for Mercedes only N code came up a10d00 saying power supply too low(stored) N. The next one read 9a4f13 right KEYLESS GO has a malfunction. THERE IS N OPEN CIRCUIT. CURRENT N STORED HOW DO I FIX IT
Did not find any reference to the second code you mentioned. However, there is a Technical Service Bulletin out related to this code A10D00. It refers a wiring harness being damaged in the area of the roof frame. This could affect one or all of the following areas:
TSB Reference Number: LI54.18-P-048131, Date of Issue: November 20, 2009 – The entire TSB along with step by step corrective procedures and pictures are included in each manual. – Purchase Manual
Mercedes-Benz Code A10D00 Description – The power supply is too low.
Control Unit: MFK – Multi-function camera (A40/11)(MPC212)
Radio come on but no sound, I check fuse is there a fiber optic fuse or what could it be?
I will provide you with the radio wiring diagram to use for diagnostics. If the problem is internal in the radio, replacing it would be the fix.

It will turn over but will not fire.
We have developed a no start diagnostic chart for just this situation.
Upon heavier braking, like an off ramp from an interstate, the car runs on 3 cylinders. If it is cut off and restarted, it runs fine. Thinking a fuel filter problem.
I can’t find owner manual anywhere
RESPONSE
Your vehicles owners manual may be viewed online. Here you go:
Free Car Owners Manuals follow the Mercedes tab, not sure but they might only go as far back as 2000. You may need to contact a dealership service department.
I need the front SAM Module wiring diagram.

NOTE* After installing a new unit, it needs to be reprogrammed.
MARCH 2008 — Mercedes-Benz is recalling 3,283 MY 2008 S-Class and CL-Class passenger vehicles. A malfunction may occur on the Signal Acquisition and Actuation Module-Front (SAM-F) transistors. The SAM-F is a double transistor that helps control vehicle functions and the lighting of the center console. Incorrect storage of the transistors led the transistors to be exposed to excess humidity. The presence of this moisture in combination with the thermal stress during the “reflow soldering” may have damaged the transistors while could prevent them from properly functioning increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace all potentially affected SAMs. The recall is expected to begin during May 2008. Owners may contact Mercedes-Benz at 1-800-367-6372. 08V122
I am having issues with a Code P0025 , I replaced both camshaft magnets and both positions sensors on the driver side but I am still getting this code. Can you tell me what problem might be?
RESPONSE
My vehicle has no power, no crank, no sound, no power. I replaced alternator and battery. Still no power need help please.
RESPONSE
You have a blown fuse or bad connection at the battery. There is an inline fuse called a PREFUSE. This is on the red wire that connects from the battery positive tot he alternator. So you can us a multi-meter and check for battery voltage at the alternator. If you do not see battery voltage there then most likely the PREFUSE is blown. Repair or replace as needed.
