Hot wire for a radio in a 2000 e320 - 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Best advice is to buy an aftermarket radio. The cost to repair the factory radio will be double or triple what you will spend to buy a nice Sony, Kenwood, JVC or Pioneer radio with the latest technology. Been there, done that.

not being cheaky but have you connected to correct wires if so there could be a brake in the wires some where probably where they conect to stereo in the radio hole ect

sounds like something in radio is overheating

I have two Mercedes - one is 2000 E320 Wagon; other is 1999 E320 Sedan.

I replaced the serpentine belt on my 2000 Wagon today at 92,000 miles. I found that the Motorcraft JK6-947 could be purchased on Ebay for $12.99 plus $6.20 shipping. The old belt was a Goodyear Gatorback 4060940. My 1999 sedan has a Mercedes Benz 011 997 97 92 6K2390 EM7117 Gates belt made in Spain.

Here are the details of replacing the belt.

On the 2000 E320, a 17 mm bolt just under the belt going to the tension pulley will release the belt tension when turned counterclockwise. Removal of the belt was easy after using a 17 mm deep socket wrench similar to a spark plug socket. I made turning the bolt very easy by slipping a 4' pipe over the socket wrench handle. It is advisable to put the new belt LAST on the idler pulley that contacts the belt only on the smooth side.

You do not need todisturb theButton Torx bolt in the center of the tension pully.

The 1999 E320 uses a 15 mm bolt in the CENTER of the tension pulley. Otherwise the installation is the same as the 2000 E320.

i found one in a haynes book covers sephia and spectra 94 to 04 .i have no idea how to scan this an attach . theres not much to the diagram you have an audio 10A fuse hot in acc or run grn wire .you also have a room fuse 10A hot at all times pnk wire .both are in the i/p fuse block . in the fuse relay box you also have tail lh fuse 10A hot with lights on blu/wht wire the rest is just radio to speakers and antena . wish i could be more help

Its inside your car manual on the left side as you open it up, it'll be a lil grey card that will have the radio code written on it... read the manual and it'll tell you how to put the numbers in.

i had the same problem,,, it was from the compressor, u start with checking the gas pressure first, then u can replace the filter(black metal piece), if not solving the problem ,,,compressor has to be changed.

you must got to the dealer for a radio code for you benz. sorry

Most parts stores carry a "piggyback" terminal that can be used with a fuse that will provide a male spade lug that can be used for such installations. I suggest you use the "AUX" fuse as it will be a heavy enough circuit.

Hello I'm a M.B. tech. As long as it is original there is no amplifier other than the head unit itself. The only tricky part is getting the antenna to work with the new head unit. Take a test light and find which wire is hot all the time. That will be your circuit 30 wire(radio memmory). Next turn key to position 2 and find your wire( one is for the antenna and the other is for your radio operation) and isolate those 2 wires,. Find your ground wire and those are your basic connections. There is a fader switch in your center console wood. the head unit sends its power ther and it is dispursed to the appropiate speakers(it is also a common problrm when you have no sound. Try to pop the switch up carefully with a flat blade screwdriver. If not pop up the shifter trim ring and pull up on the console wood. You may have to remove the ashtray. It is a fairly simple install hopefully my advice has been helpful.
