Ok. Dumb question. What is the EZL? I have an '85 500SL (Euro).

Not a Dumb question at all, I'll second that question. Thanks for asking it!! Anybody???

one more thing ----make sure that no mods were done to vehicle that might leave ignition module powered up when key off.i used to find that leaving ignition turned on while working on those cars would fry the module.

I don't exaxtly know what EZL is an acronym for, but it is another word for ignition control module.

Beckman technologies in North Carolina sells rebuilt ignition control modules.

www.beckmanntechnologies.com/

I've been told that www.4mercedes.com also sells them.

Thanks, Paul. I don't see where anyone could come up with EZL from an ICM. Maybe it's a German thing.

Rather than pay outrageous prices to Beckmann and others, I've picked up a couple used (one NOS) off of eBay for about $25.00. I've also used Matt Bourne out in CA for a few parts ( bournes11@gmail.com ). He's honest and will negotiate a bit on price.
