What is a SAM module and what does it do?
SAM stands for Signal Acquisition & Actuation Module (in German, Signalerfassungs- und Ansteuermodul). Mercedes uses front and rear SAM units built into the fuse boxes to read switch inputs and drive the lighting, turn signals, wipers, and power distribution. When a SAM fails you get random electrical faults and often a "SAM control unit" code. Supplied by Temic and Hella depending on the model.
