I picked up an extremely loaded 04 S430 a couple weeks ago (Dynamic seats, keyless go, heated wheel, ventilated seats front and rear etc) and it has a new power trunk closer motor but it's just laying in the space next to the battery and not bolted down at all. Does anyone have pics or info on how it's supposed to be mounted? Also, when you do close the trunk, it comes down FAST like a guillotine. Is that normal?

Hi,

I haven't seen one on an S Class, but they are very similar to CL, and they are pushed into a shaped foam piece that just sits in the Battery Tray :wink

The CL ones do come down fairly quick, that said they don't drop and slam ?????????

HTH

Cheers Dave

The pump sits in a piece of foam between the rear of the car and the battery.... No bolting, but it is a snug fit

I was hoping to find a part number for the foam tray or someone selling one on eBay but I can't find any examples anywhere.

Try going to the parts department at your dealer. These small things should be available inexpensively and they'll be able to give you the exact part# when you give them the VIN.

Snapped a pic of the number of the top foam piece tonight. Attempting to attach.

Hey Nckwltn- thanks for posting the picture. That helped me figure out how it was oriented in the trunk. I did order the new insulator and got it in successfully. That makes a huge difference in noise, you could really hear that pump before since the previous owner installed a brand new pump but just basically set it inside the battery compartment on the metal. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, it was a busy couple of weeks!

Thanks for closing the loop, and letting us know the final result.
