I think Tom is right, that is the cruise module, I swapped mine for a PAP one and cruise worked better for a while. But it just failed again. I have the old module apart, and cannot see any obvious damage, someone said to solder the copper bar connections, would that help?
Cruise is important to me because of back issues.

Actually Mercedes thinks otherwise, they call it a warning module in their Electrical Trouble Shooting Manual.  The cruise control amplifier is mounted lower and to the right.  Performance products calls it a seat belt relay., but I'd really prefer to not drop a $100 on them since I'm not completely sure that it is the problem.  I'm looking for a used one for less.  Plan C is to pry it apart, but I've got too much going on to play that game right now.  It's my daughter's car and I've suggested that she use her violin in place of the nonworking horn.  The part number again is 001 545 52 32.
