Good day all !

I own a 1999 right hand drive C200 petrol sedan and I've been having problems with the kickdown. I purchased and installed a new Genuine Mercedes Benz kickdown switch and it still doesn't work. I looked at all the relays in the engine compartment and trunk and the kickdown relay isn't there. I believe my car has the 722.6 transmission.

If anyone knows where I can find the kickdown relay please let me know.


Thanks.

Mounted on the side of the ECU box.

Pop the hood, on the drivers (UK) side close to the windscreen (ha!) remove that blast plastic panel protecting all the fancy electronics. Kickdown relay is a black relay attached to the side of the ECU unit. The ECU and ABS are attached to each other with the huge electrical connections plugging into them on top. On the side of that should be the kickdown relay.

Edit: pop the bonnet
