My electrical manual shows a group of 5 relays and states the OVP is the only one without a code number on it. The numbers on the other 4 are 6,10,12 and 32. In a picture it shows the relay to be located in a rat's nest of wiring above the fuse box. Good Fortune!

Location of the OVP on a 1978 450SL?

Along the same lines, I'm looking for the location of the OVP on my 78 450SL. I see all the other relays above the fuse box on the passenger side right kick panel...but none of them look like the OVP I bought; there are 6 there plus one larger fuel pump relay, which I just replaced.

But the OVP...don't see it anywhere

Would anyone know???

Here it is on a 1986 560SL, Just above the fuse pannel. Orange top with a fuse installed on top. I dont know if the 380 and 450 SL's have it in the same location.
