Description
OEM reference 2035454601, supplier number 5DK008485-55. Genuine used Mercedes-Benz W203 C-Class SAM Control Module — tested and confirmed operational.
Acting as the central body control and power distribution unit, the SAM (Signal Acquisition and Actuation Module) coordinates electrical supply across the entire body system of these Mercedes-Benz models. It houses the main fuse matrix and relay array for the vehicle body circuits, managing power distribution and signal routing for exterior lighting (headlights, taillights, fog lights), windscreen wipers and washers, horn, electric windows, and numerous other body and chassis functions. Front and rear SAM variants exist — confirm which is required. The module communicates with the instrument cluster, engine management and comfort systems over the vehicle CAN bus.
Groups of dashboard warning messages illuminating simultaneously — often the first visible symptom; exterior lighting systems (headlights, taillights, fog lights) becoming unreliable or ceasing to function; fuses blowing repeatedly even after replacement; CAN bus communication to the SAM becoming unavailable to Star Diagnosis; or fault codes stored under the SAM module address in the body control electronics.
Good used condition. Always cross-reference BOTH OEM numbers (vehicle OEM and supplier number) with your specific vehicle and build date before ordering — SAM variants differ between model years, body configurations and optional extras. Professional installation is required. The replacement SAM must be configured and coded to the vehicle using Mercedes-Benz Star Diagnosis (XENTRY or SIM/DAS). Returns are accepted within 14 days on unmodified, uninstalled parts.
Returns accepted only for genuine faults — faulty on arrival, not as described, or wrong part supplied — requested within 14 days, with all 3 anti-tamper stickers intact. No returns for change of mind, incorrect installation, coding/programming, or buyer compatibility errors; checking compatibility (OEM number, firmware, vehicle) is the buyer’s responsibility.
