Does your alternator light come on when you turn the key on? I don't know if Mercedeses are wired this way, but on many cars, if the alternator light is burned out or there's another break in its circuit, the alternator field will NOT energize. David is correct, power for excitation comes through and is limited by the alternator light filament. Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 261 K miles 98 ML 320, 138 K miles
