Our A-Class has suffered some water ingress because the cabin filter drain was blocked. The vehicle is showing various fault messages for ABS/BAS/ESP. I believe that from evidence I have seen on this forum that the culprit may be a drowned SAM. The vehicle also exhibits fault information with regard to the brake lights and the brake fluid level. Brake fluid level has been checked and the brake lights all work. Again, this supports the idea that the SAM may be the problem. Please advise if you kow other wise...
So today I attempted to remove the fuse box (under the drivers side floor) with the purpose of inspecting the SAM module and potentially replacing it. But. Cannot get it out. I believe that the SAM is clipped to the bottom of the fuse box (advise otherwise if you know, please) so in order to remove the SAM, I need to remove the fuse box. Battery has been already removed.
I have removed one bolt and one plastic nut and the fuse box is loose, but I cannot expose it enough to remove the SAM. I suspect this is because the cables prevent this from happening.
So. Has anyone had to do this before? if so, could they advise how this was done please?
