OM651 Glow plug relay location

[CowleyStJames]

Need to have a look at the wiring connections to the Glow plug relay but not sure where it is on my 2011 E250 S212.
Can anyone post up where I need to look to find it?
I'm getting a fault code relating to glow plug stage communicating error and have been told to check the wiring after having some recent work done on the engine.

If you search eBay for a picture of it that might help spot it . My diesels relay is top front of the engine where the wiring then goes on to the glow plugs .

Thanks. Found it today. Right at front top of engine, next to engine hoist eye.
Took it off and disconnected cables, slight corrosion inside so tried cleaning it up bit not much better.
Managed to find another exact match on eBay, second hand off a 32,000 mile car being scrapped. £15, hiding to nothing

Good luck. Right now I research, collect everything om651, prep for modern Benz DTF.

Designed to fail..

Designed to fail..

Never a truer word spoken, along with the oil cooler seals and plastic water pump.
Hang on, I've replaced those as well

Shame but even Benz not designed to last. So far I am on 20 yr on my clk 320 and it still looks pretty good. And I can fix it myself. I doubt there is the remotest chance of 20 + yr with my ml 250 despite most of it being plastic! In some cases, my previous sl600 r230 you get a sense of class/quality but for a limited time, a 60,s sl300 you did AND STILL DO
