| 2012 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic 3.5L Alternator VIN: WDDHF8JB8C Thank you for all of the replies. As it turns out the IBS was at fault, due to this being a "blue efficiency" unit, it would tell the alternator to stop charging when it felt it had enough power. Because this signal was skewed (bad IBS) that was our failure. |
