Throw out your test light and gat a data probe as its not just - and + anymore. Signals are sent as ohm values and improper probing can result in catastophic results. We can all thank MB for the R & D on this system. Be very carefull, the ECM worth a few thousand $$$$
The cluster is a seperate module, it is NOT the ECM! the cluster module is most commonly referd to as the BCM, or body control module.

I can't remember the exact plug for sure, just follow your instructions.
Has anyone noticed that during the winter this was the first area of the hood to have snow melted on it. Why would one put a computer in the hottest area of the engine? Stall bug anyone?
