What should I do if there is no power in my fuel pump?
A test of the battery with a digital tester that provides current voltage, cold cranking amps, and state of health should be done first. The battery is the heart of the electrical system and if it stumbles or fails, it can affect all other systems.
Why is the fuel pump relay not turning on?
The ECM controls the fuel pump relay and this relay will only energize when commanded on. Does the check engine light come on; if not, then the ECM is not turning on. Do all the other combination meter warning lights come on?
Why is my fuel pump going so slow?
Slow crank, battery and connecters good. It is unlikely that an oil leak would have any impact on the slow cranking you describe. Generally, slow cranking is related to a weak battery or charging system. It sounds like you may have a weak battery, a failing…
What’s the fuel pressure on a Mercedes Benz?
A great and affordable gauge that we have used in the past is this Actron Fuel Pressure Gauge which works on Mercedes-Benz cars. Turn the engine off and connect this gauge to the Schrader valve test port shown in the picture below. Start the car and you should be able to get around 60 psi.
What should I do if my Mercedes Benz won’t start?
Start the car and you should be able to get around 60 psi. When the engine is running and when you turn off the engine the pressure should stay steady. Always perform this test on a cold engine. Next, make sure that the fuel injector connections are secure and not loose. Check the fuel pump and the fuel pump relay.
Why is the battery on my Mercedes Benz not working?

Why is my car battery not providing power?
Many times, the battery has failed and the vehicle will not start or provide power; it could simply be worn out or there could be a parasitic draw or a weak alternator that is not properly charging. A test of the battery with a digital tester that provides current voltage, cold cranking amps, and state of health should be done first.

Why is the fuel pump and relay not working?
The ignition circuit, which includes the ignition switch, controls power to many components, including the fuel pump and relay. If there is an issue with the switch or the circuit, perhaps a wiring problem, then power to the fuel system may be cut off.
Why do I need to wire my fuel pump off the battery?
Motors running right on the edge of tuning could go slightly lean enough to start detonationin the motor and cause a total failure. The best way to avoid this is to wire the fuel pump to have a dedicated voltage line right off the battery so that it consistently performs. How to start Re-wiring your fuel pump
How do you re-wire a fuel pump?
The steps of re-wiring your fuel pump are to first get to your fuel pumps wiring. At the wiring you need to find the 12v supply wire from the ECU to the fuel pump. Once that wire has been found cut that wire so that you now have half of that wiring running to the fuel pump, and the other half running to the factory ECU.
