Slk 1996 230 compresor
Hi
I have a slk 230 inPortugal and had a faulty roof it was sticking I took it to the merc dealer here and they said it was a rear quarter window problem so they ordered it when I went to collect the car the said it was the roof module £1100 I took a second hand one from England and they said that was faulty so I had the new one fitted when I went back the central locking didn't work and they said it was the punp another £800 so I got another seond hand one and it still doesn't work if you press the fob it flashes the indicators to lock and unlock but seems no power to the pump
Any thoughts or is there a fuse or relay

Thanks

can't offer any advice on the fault, but the dealer seems to be taking the **** - you took it in with one fault which they mis-diagnosed, then somehow the (sounds like) PSE pump went down - if that was ok when you took it in, they have some responsibility - particularly if it's like the SL, the roof pump lives on top of the PSE- coincidences are one thing but this is a step (or two) too far. Alway difficult in foreign parts when suddenly "no speaka de english" but I don't think you should be leaving it as it sounds!

On the SL R230, there is a fuse for the PSE - it's a yellow 20amp that lives in the box behind the driver's seat, but no idea where is might be on the SLK - good luck though
