The Fuse, The Fan and the Harness

I have a 2000 ML320 which has the Aux Fan Fuse 44 problem.

Fuse 44 has had a 30 AMP fuse since day 1, for the time being I am replacing with another 30AMP until I can get advice otherwise.

Having read through the forums I see that Mercedes have produced a upgraded harness, but the 'recall' only applied to 2000 ML up to VIN ending in A145272.

this according to Gillys usual superb advice in thread...

my VIN ends A1547** so to my question (s)

1 - Would my ML have the updated Harness?

2 - Is there anyway to tell for sure?

If the answer to 1 is Yes and/or per 2 there is a way to verify. I can assume I can just put the 40AMP fuse instead of a 30.

Just so everyone knows I am fairly sure though I will double check as I have the Mercedes Warranty sheet for the car (Cannot remember the proper name) that the harness was not replaced under warranty.

As always Many
