Mercedes w221 is the fifth generation of Mercedes-Benz S-class cars, produced in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 with various versions of S350, S450, S500, S600, S65 AMG, C63. During this time, the model has been redesigned. Our information will also be useful to owners of the Mercedes-Benz C216 (CL-class), as these cars are produced on a common basis. We will present a detailed description of the Mercedes 221 fuses and relays with block diagrams and their locations. Select the fuses responsible for the cigarette lighter.

The location of the blocks and the purpose of the elements on them may differ from those shown and depend on the year of manufacture and the level of equipment of your car.

    I have such a problem, the generator sometimes charges, sometimes it doesn't charge, it seems that something is overheating, does it have a relay somewhere? I have a 2000a 320s water-cooled generator. The generator has been repaired twice, but it works. Can anyone help? if you can, you could write to an email ritsu19@mail.ee

  • Emad

    Peace be upon you. I have a problem with the fuse box circuit inside the front cap next to the front battery. The question is: Why is the back battery charging and the front one not charging? I constantly renew the front battery.

  • Hamad

    My problem is that the front battery does not charge when I install a new battery, which lasts a month or more depending on operation.

  • Emad

    I have a problem with the front battery and it does not charge when I change the front battery within ten. Or a month, the operation process does not occur during it, but the rear battery is doing well in terms of charging

  • Emad

    I have a problem with charging the front battery, and it does not receive a charge. I checked and changed the box next to the battery, to no avail. I checked the dynamo, which is excellent, and the charging process with the back battery is excellent.
