When you have this problem with the relay, it is better to seal the relays, take the relay for the turn signals and slightly bend your legs outwards, then put it back and it will be fine again and will sit in the factory, without trees and without unnecessary things, for people who do not understand it is useful, but there are also better ways to fix this problem! Thanks!
You'll more than likely find if you open the relay at the bottom where the pins are soldered to the circuit board, that there is a broken solder joint, just check with a magnifying glass and re solder the broken joint, I had the exact same problem and that's how I fixed mine.
@@jonathankinsala3930 it didn't have any form of a seal as such its just got a plastic cover that's removed by prying the base off with a small flat head skrew driver, then when putting it back together it just snaps shut, another relay that can give trouble as well cousing the engine to crank and not pump fuel or give a spark is the over voltage relay, its the silver aluminium one with a fuse in the top of it on the other side of the engine bay , that one is much harder to get apart and is best replaced with a new as it involves breaking the aluminium cover to enter it, when changed the car will run faultlessly again, there a good car but electric components just break down over a very long period.
Hello nice video,you know where located the starter relay or fuse I have the c180 w202 turn the key I heard the sound of the fuel pump but starter not working,thanks!
hi yes I saw a link to mercedes benz forums and performed a full reheat of all contacts that are from the posts to the pcb holding the 3 relays, after removing the cover on the relay using jewelers screwdriver gently to leve the case around the base.
I change my relay it’s a little hard to pull that turn signal relay and still acting up .I tried your putting something on top of my relay like you told on the video still not works.Maybe it’s my turn signal switch I’m gonna go to a mechanic .Thanks for your video
Those relay boxes are plagued with dry joints open the relay box .give it to a electronics tech to resolder the joints .the block of wood is probably causing the pc board to buckle a bit making the joints make contact .
If it's anything like my 1999 SLK 230 you guys need to check the back of your hazard switch.. everything is grounded out on the back of that switch don't ask me why don't ask me how but if you look at the back of the switchyou'll see what I mean and as soon as you get that work in you will see your blinkers will begin to workis the absolute weirdest thing I've ever seen be made that way but it is made that way so please check your red hazard switch in the middle of your dash I promise you will not regret it
Hi, my '97 c230 has a related problem - the front and rear turn signals won't blink when the headlights are turned on. When the headlights are off, no problem, all 4 turn signals work. But the moment the headlights are turned on, the blinking stops. This happens only on the driver side. Bad relay? Any advice?
Sounds like the beginning of a headlight switch failing. My switch for the headlights went out and I had to choose between seeing the speedometer or seeing the road but never both.
Have the same problem. The right turn signal stays on even when I turn off the car. I have to unplug the battery every night. Did you solve your problem?
Buenas tarde tengo un mercedes c280 año 94 y quisiera saber porque me esta quedando encendido el panel del control del aire y no me activa el aire y me queda el fusible número 10 que va en la maleta
you guys need to check your hazard switch in the middle of your dash check the back of it it needs to be cleaned off and put back in its place. their contacts on the back of it where it grounds everything out it's very strange but that's the way it's wired check that switch the red one in the middle of your dash
Um, seriously? That's not a fix. That's called badging it together! A proper fix would be finding out what's wrong with it. Is it a terminal in the socket assembly that's loose? Is it a cracked solder joint in the relay? A corroded connection? Figuring that out and making a proper repair is actually fixing it.
I was like 16 at the time. I didn't have the patience to disassemble and solder a relay. It worked flawlessly for the rest of the cars life after the block. So thats a win in my book
A BLOCK OF WOOD? man you speak pretty fluent English to be Mexican.. I'll give you that much butttt........ 👀Ya fixed your Benz with a random block of wood... 🤔Seems legit
@@JonnyFortino I'm just messing with you man I've used non manufactured wood before right straight off the tree LOL. No I haven't gotten that far but doing worse than this I promise
I went through all the usual reflowing of solder on the relays and removing the hazard switch on the dash and cleaning everything. It all worked for a brief period. Then I watched the center relay while it worked / or didn't work. lol I was using a toothpick to apply pressure to various parts. EVENTUALLY ..... I inserted the toothpick gently into a gap behind the one fixed metal contact and the plastic casing behind it. Flicker sprung to life !!! Trimmed the toothpick down with side cutters and left it there. Still working 3 months later. Yellow arrow indicates resting place for the sharp end of the toothpick. Red arrow indicates the contact which flicks back and forth. i.postimg.cc/8CjgFycP/DSC-6403e.png
It may be 5 years old but this video answered my prayer for a simple fix. 1996 c200, is not great for parts if this hadn’t worked.🎉🎉

How did u seal it exactly?

Where is Rear window relay? 😢
Thanks mate, exactly what I was looking for. Started to unscrew that very panel, then decided not to. Cheers from downunder

Shotalot!!! You saved me from months of headaches. Keep up the good work

I just did this to my c36 and it worked!!
Thanks a lot. I used a piece of tile and now have a street-legal car again.
Do you know where is the ABS fuse.? Thanks for the video..!
Thanks for video, I have a righthand drive w202 '97 merc.
My indicator unit fast clicks from to time. I will try your idea.
nice fix yo thats how i like to see it done
Thank you brotherman, you just helped me out🤙
Thanks, it worked like a charm!
when ignite my marcedes benz c180 1194, i have to hit the gas for a couple of minuts and if i dont, it shutdown immediately why?
Can you change the relay? I have a e320 2000 turn signal is out

@@JonnyFortino The headlight switch had not even occurred to me. Very helpful. Thanks!
Would it be the same relay causing my turn and emergency indicators to stay on? They light up, but no blinky-blinky.
Have the same problem. The right turn signal stays on even when I turn off the car. I have to unplug the battery every night. Did you solve your problem?
Have the same issue with mine. Right side keeps flashing while the car is on.
Happy costumer 🎉
Nice, clear video, but seems there should be a correct way of fixing that problem... sorry about your pole accident.
Where is the fuse box that controls the locks located? Which fuse is it?
Buenas tarde tengo un mercedes c280 año 94 y quisiera saber porque me esta quedando encendido el panel del control del aire y no me activa el aire y me queda el fusible número 10 que va en la maleta
What if one of the turn signal is constantly on and will not turn off. I have this issue on my 98 c230
Did u fix have the same problem
you guys need to check your hazard switch in the middle of your dash check the back of it it needs to be cleaned off and put back in its place. their contacts on the back of it where it grounds everything out it's very strange but that's the way it's wired check that switch the red one in the middle of your dash
I would like to ask a question? Where and which is the high beam relay?
хаха I solve my problem just like you do :D
jipsy tuning as we call it in my place))
But i want to remove nas change for anotar one
Thank you so much sin from Me
Where is the fuel pump relay?
Usually on the opposite side. Passenger side. Google K40 fuse
Did you get any tickets?
yes. 86 in a 70. supposedly the us models had a speed limiter of 132~ but I took her over 140 so yeah.
where is the headlight relay or low beam
GEAR HEAD did you found it?
I just need the piece of wood lol
Clap clap clap !!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes we need a fast rig to keep going until we have more time and money. Sheesh. Thanks to the poster ❤️
Micky mouse job
Temporary helps at times. Dont tell me youve never rigged anything until you could get into it more.

Hey it worked. You have to get creative once the electrical gremlins pop up in these aging German wiring messes 🤣
