I have 2001 w220 S55 that I have purchased in Houston, Tx. and need a copy of the fuse guide found in the trunk. I have several things wrong like 1) abc suspension sags in the rear after 2 days but immediately jumps back up by pushing the raise button on dash. 2) front doors and trunk do not close automatically. 3} windows will not go down or up with the key opener. 4) seat pulse works only a short time and very slow, almost not noticeable and doesn't work with abc.
I can use all the help possible on these problems.

Welcome to the forum! Most of your issues are dealt with in the W220 S-Class Encyclopedia sticky (in the blue-backgrounded area at the top of the page). To help you with terms, for the suspension look for ABC and "Both;" for the doors look for "soft close" and "PSE pump;" for the windows look first for the fuse charts link under Electrical System; and the seat pulse is also probably related to the PSE pump.

There is a lot of reading to do; look it over - I'm sure you will have questions, and there is a lot of help here - but those references will give you a start.

yes, you need your valve blocks rebuilt. I am in Houston and rebuild them regularly. PM me if you are interested. Its a lot cheaper than buying new ones.

There's no special tool for the flush, just a longer hose to drain the return line into a waste bucket as you keep filling the reservoir with fresh fluid. There is a special tool on newer cars though. A flush has to be done with the rodeo function in STAR diagnostics. You can do all this and you should anyway. Also there is a drain for each strut. They should be individually drained each time the car is on the rack since that's the one part of the hydraulics that doesn't get flushed at all. Not much comes out but it will be black.
If none of this fixeds your sagging suspension PM and I can help.

Yeah, maybe but you can't flush the fluid while your driving it
