Well I thought that the difference was the resistors soldered inside the units. Specifically I thought the resistors were calibration for the different horse power of the engine. For example if the 300SD one was put in a 560SEL then it would press gas a lot to increase speed a little bit.
I think on the latter ones '87 and newer they had the calibration in a module that plugged in beside the connector. Now I am often wrong but these were the assumptions that I had been using. I guess you could sell the stack you have to one of the rebuilders of these amps. Trampas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kaleb C. Striplin Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 2:03 PM To: Mercedes mailing list Subject: [MBZ] cruise control question Whats the deal with the cruise control amps? On the 14 pin versions there are several different part numbers and the end parts have different colors. Some are green, some orange, some blue, some black, some white, etc. Have different part numbers as well. Some of the part numbers will pull up in the EPC and some dont. The ones that do says they are for whatever model that others will. I have a big pile of them and have tested most of them in my 85 300D and the ones that work all work in that car but they have different color codes and different part numbers. Question is, whats the difference between them or is there really a difference. Thinking maybe they are differt color codes because they may have different refinements from earlier versions or something. Also, anybody know how to tell which one goes to which car based on the color coding or the old part numbers(because not all part numbers will pull up) Thanks -- Kaleb C.
