I have a 2021 MB Sprinter (2L Turbo RWD) and the EIS Module wiring bundle doesn’t look like what is in this video. Also my EIS module isn’t attached in a diagonal position..mine is straight up (vertical). So did they fix this in the 2021 model?

Might it be an easier task to remove the sliding door and plane 1/16 inch off the bottom?

Great video Thank You doing that to mine this weekend

Love the video. My start button has needed to be held longer to start than normal. Weird part to me is it started the minute I swapped the key fob battery when it died. Has been 5-6 months now and still working. Took it to the dealer and they were useless. Couldn't give me an answer. Wondering if this is why.

What model years of Sprinter vans have this issue?

Great video thank you so much as a new sprinter owner the step by step was perfect.

Wondering if MB has addressed this issue on latest 23’,24’ models??

thanks for taking the time and effort to do this !!!!!

The TSB calls for covering of two modules FYI, so you need two boots. Part Number Part Name Price Quantity Total 638-546-00-35 Boot $11.50 2 $23.00 2119970290 Loom Tie $2.90 4 $11.60

Thank you Sooo much for doing this, Mercedes should do a recall! Mine failed on site and had to call out engineer. Will be redoing it myself for the Control module behind the EIS. Thank You

where can get the boot cover?

Video was fantastic and helped me get this finished

My Sprinter is on order, so this question may not be relevant, but this seems like a lot of work just to put a raincoat on the EIS and route the wiring harness so it drips elsewhere. Why not seal the windshield dashboard junction with silicone caulk, so the condensation can’t get to the EIS and divert to a safe pathway to the weep holes?

I bought the boot and attempted this with this very good video. However our VS30 Sprinter wiring is "wrapped" really high, and would have to cut loom wrapping in order to get the module and wiring down low enough to get tucked up into the boot. Once I got in there I decided not to cut "wrapping" to expose more EIS wiring in order to pull it down. I may elect to monitor and/or utilize Maxxair fan and towel along windshield and A pillar as I monitor. Thanks for great video. Stealership wanted $268 to do boot install.

Do you have a link for the clip style zip ties? I didn’t receive any with my boot.

I finally got this done! Thanks a ton for this video tutorial. It was super helpful and appreciated!

Thank You for putting this video together!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful and enabled me to tackle the job myself. I had asked Mercedes why this wasn't a recall, and couldn't they just take care of it before it was a problem and the dealer told me they just wouldn't work on it unless it failed. They wouldn't even do it if I paid them for the work, which was surprising. I couldn't risk having it fail out somewhere while travelling so I had no choice but to take care of it myself. This seems like a real design flaw, and I would hope they do a recall before anyone gets stuck out in the snow somewhere dangerous just because they get some condensation dripping down into the EIS module. I also referenced this doc: static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10183232-9999.pdf topic # LI54.21-N-069524 in case anyone is curious.

This video makes little sense in why wouldn’t this be a major recall by Mercedes in the first place and there seems to be no mention of why or under what conditions “other then condensation “ that this is “fix” would needed ….

Problems, problems. I'd ask Storyteller to step up to the plate before your warranty runs out!

Any tricks to removing the floor cover? And did you disconnect the battery before attempting this?

Do you have a link for ordering the boot cover? Thx!

You saved me at least half the the time I would have taken …..Thanks!!!!
