Assuming you have not been altering the wiring in the car, you most likely have a ground fault or blown relay. The 40amp maxi fuse is for the air pump and goes to the air pump relay module. First use a meter to confirm that the wire leaving the fuse block (red/yellow) has continuity to the relay. If the wire is chafed or broken, it could be touching the body metal and causing the fuse to blow. If the wire is okay, the relay is the next thing to check. Applying 12 volt positive to terminal 4 (with the gray wire) should cause the relay to close - you should hear it click. If it clicks the next wires to check are the brown wire leaving the air pump (make sure there are no breaks or chafing anywhere) and the brown wire leaving the air pump switchover valve. If these wires are all good I would consider replacing the relay or take it to the dealer. Good luck.

Where is the crank sensor in a Mercedes w202?

On a 1996 C 220 the crankshaft sensor is located on the rear of the motor on the drivers side. On my vehicle it is pretty well hidden below a silver part that I am not sure what it is. I can see the bolt that removes the sensor and I have felt down and removed the connection but I still cannot get the sensor out yet. On all of the W202, the crank positioning sensor is located on the same spot. Sitting on the drivers seat, think about 10 o'clock on the engine. It is usually a tight spot to get your hands in there. You'll have to remove the top cover (snap off) and you should be able to spot it just before the joint between the engine and transmission. It is secured by one torx bolt and has one connector with either one or two securing tabs.

If a diesel Mercedes c220 cdi w202 runs out of fuel do you have to pump fuel around the system to start it or can you just put fuel in the tank and it will start?

- The easiest way is to add few liters of diesel, press and hold fully accelerator pedal and try to start the engine. It should start within 10-20 sec. - More difficult way is - open fuel filter - fill the filter right up with fresh diesel. Try to start the engine. - Safe way - Call assistance and ask to remove air from fuel system ($$$) Be aware: Fuel pomp do not like to pomp air - $$$


Mercedes C200 Diesel W202 when you turn off the car it takes about 2 seconds before the engine stops It starts and run great just takes 2 seconds to turn off and engine vibrates when it does?

This is called dieseling. When you shut the engine off, it goes "Pocka, Pocka, Pocka" a few times and finally stalls. In an older, carbureted car with a gasoline engine, it is an indication of too low octane fuel being used, or too rich a mixture. In a newer, fuel injected car with a gasoline engine, oddly enough it is an indication of essentially the same thing. However, it often requires electronic adjustment of the fuel injection system or the vehicle's computer. With a diesel engine, it is actually very common (part of the reason it is called dieseling), it may require nothing more than a good quality injector cleaner. If you are not comfortable with DIY, take it to a local auto parts store such as AutoZone or Pep Boys and ask them to put the car on a tester. If there is anything wrong electronically, it will show and they can advise you of a good course of action.
