When I tried starting the Crossfire I got nothing and just the electric fan coming on. When I tried my Crossfire RCM in the SLK it had the same symptoms as my Crossfire. Deeply frustrated. Should I buy a new RCM? No one wants to work at it and the local Mercedes specialists said it’s not a Mercedes! I have had trouble free miles up until now. If the RCM would fix it then that would be great but I don’t want to buy it and then discover it could be the SKREEM or something else. Help please!
You can take your RCM apart and hold the fuel pump relay closed with a rubber band.
Somewhere there is a post by tighed1 that explains all of this. Use the search bar in the upper right hand corner.
