Keep in mind, reseating the module might help. they sometimes wiggle their connection lose. I bought a replacement AAM with the exact same number 2 years ago, reason is, the local Mercedes Dealership told me they will have to charge me double man hours because all the mechanics that knew how to work on w163 have retired...... They wanted several hundred bucks to program the few parameters in the AAM. With the number matching everything worked straight away

I agree.. that little support tab/foot if broken can allow the module to move around enough to loosen connections

@philipsolodyankin65155 жыл бұрын
Hello! So I got a 2001 ml55 and I believe the aam might be out.. I just got the car on an auction and slowly piecing it together. I have two Keys for it but non of them seemed to work. I just replaced the batteries, tried to resync them and still nothing.. just wanted to see if you think it is indeed the aam. It looks like a fairly easy replacement so it’s worth a shot but still want a second opinion before I get into it.
@fupabox5 жыл бұрын
Even with AAM replacement the keys need to be resynced to the car for the remote to work . If the keys won't start the car that is a different issue. Does the key turn in the ignition and door locks ?
@mrglabs4778 Жыл бұрын
I thought the AAM was VIN specific. Mine has failed rendering the ML55 worthless.

Judith Pinkham ....sorry I didn't show it ... It's quite simple. key in ignition, turn to second position where all the dash lights come on, but don;t start the car . Remove key and press and hold the lock button. While holding the lock button press the unlock button 5x. That should resync the key to the car. If it doesn't ,then the AAM is likely bad , but check the key fob batteries first . If the key batteries are good, and it won't resync ..usually the AAM is bad

fupabox, can you please share a link to your video or comment on what was wrong with your headlights and how you came to the conclusion that it is your AAM that needs to be replaced? I have an issue where when I turn the headlights on, my wipers move some 3-4 mm, some kind of beeping sound from the engine fuse box (probably a relay), and the doors unlock. I can't figure out what is causing this. Thanks in advance, sir.
@fupabox6 жыл бұрын
My ML320 is a Canadian model with daytime running lights. So when the car is in Drive the lights all come on ( headlights tail and marker lights )whether it is dark out or not. They began to not come on unless I turned the light switch to on. then they began to flicker rapidly at all times , and the headlight relay was constantly buzzing under the hood, then the keyless stopped working . I knew all these functions are within the AAM along with wiper functions, auto door locking at 5 mph and rear defrost etc. It sounds like your AAM may be on its way out

Thanks. I am told to clean the negative conection at battery (which is rusted a bit) and look for anything that might be causing a short.

Need to find the correct one for my USA spec 2002 Ml320. Thanks.

After making this vid I ended up with different answers . I can confirm the AAM worked properly with the exception of the rear wiper. The rear wiper will work when the front wipers are on and truck put into reverse, but not with the dash switch . Also of course the keyless entry needed to be programmed to match. I was told by one tech that that was in the reprogramming , and another that the 2 digit # had to match . The dealer parts dept said the 2 digit # was not necessary to match . The dealer wouldn't reprogram the AAM unless purchased from them , and the only indy Benz tech near me is always so busy , he couldn't find the time ( I wanted to film the procedure ) . A guy near me offered to buy the truck at a great $ and didnt care about the rear wiper ,or keyless, so I lost the chance to get a definitive answer. It sucks because it was an answer I really wanted to sort out .

With that you can transfer the dara from your defect AAM to the new. Actually it is like swapping the memory. Your new AAM will become a "twin" of your old one. I will write later when i am done.

It's possible the little radio antenna plug on the AAM is unplugged or rubbing against something. The radio antenna in under the rear tailgate cover and can get a poor ground and cause static. The license plate bulb holders near it can rust and cause a poor ground to the antenna amp

I believe the constant on lighting right now is a setting in the AAM. Only thing not good right now is the lights on with engine start , no auto locking at 10kph (which I'm assuming is a configurable setting for both ) keyless entry , and oddly rear wiper ? rear wiper works when front wipers are on and truck put in reverse.. but the dash switch for rear wash and wipe does nothing ? odd, but possibly a setting as well.hopefully. I'm actually going to the wrecking yard today and I want to photo the wires going to the AAM on the truck I took it off, just to see if there is any different wires in the plugs from mine . The truck it came off was a 2001 320 , so should be no different . Also I recall a 2003 Ml in there with a sweet front push bar.. fingers crossed it's still there
