Airmatic suspension issues pls help

[Bombbats]

Thanks for the add been searching for a decent forum to join and looks like ive found it. Right i have a w211 estate e320 2006. My wife decided to take the car for a swim through a puddle. The inlet line for the comp came off its bracket and the compressor sucked up a load of water. I have took apart the comp dried and corrosion protected. Connect straight to a 12v supply and it works. I have checked all fuses drivers side and engine bay and tested the relay with a 9v battery (back right hand corner). Is there a fuse somewhere im not aware of? It has to be something like that as the compressor was full of water indicating that a safety trip has gone. Pls help guys ur my one and only hope before i feel a defeated engineer

Hello and welcome

A lot of things are driven from SAM’s (Signal Acquisition Module) in Mercedes, probably worth find the one responsible for the compressor and check that has any water damage.

Thanks bit of a novice where can i find the sams unit or how to check. She didnt go that deep. It was a combination of events so where the inlet hose for compressor is attached it had fallen off so was sitting lower than normal.

Have a look at Mercedes Medic. He has fuse box and relay location diagrams for most cars.

Did you check the fuse?

Did you check the fuse?

Which fuse? If your on about all fuses in the drivers position and under the bonnet then yes all fuses have been checked? Do you know any where else to check?

I have checked all fuses for continuity as in every single fuse the car has and they were all ok. Is there any fuses hidden at all?
