What year and model? What's the battery voltage? Have you tested your starter? Check for battery voltage at the fuse box Relay M pin 86, 30, and 87 while someone is cranking. Post your results.

​@@mercedesbenzspecialist2008 c300 2wd sport, checking starter is my last resort, the voltages are all below 4 volts.

After adding refrigerant and unsiezing the blower motor, the car stopped starting all of a sudden

Key 5 was the original slot his key was assigned to. When I inserted his original key into the cloned EIS it automatically assigned that key to slot 5. I then programmed a second key and assigned it to slot 1.

The correct coolant is Zerex G48. amzn.to/3RYKLrQ

@@mercedesbenzspecialist thanks

I might do it one day. But not anytime soon. It’s definitely not as easy as the front.

Thanks Dave, I appreciate that. 👍🏼

Yes that is correct. The motor inside the ESL is what makes that sound when you insert/remove your key into the EIS. A fast turning motor is an indication that it's still good. It's best to tackle this job before it fails. You can get the ESL out of the steering column much easier when it's in the unlocked position. If you can get it to unlock by simply inserting the key into the ignition switch, you'll save yourself the labor of having to remove the entire steering column to cut out the lock.

@@mercedesbenzspecialist about the chinese motor, i read at your comment below, that chinese motor will be broken between 1-3 years. so changing to chinese motor is not a good idea because short life span, how about if we bring 2 keys, 1 let the key insert in the EIS all the time, and when we park, we use another key to lock the door. so the ESL motor are not engage and dis-engage, and the ESL presumably will not be broken. Can this trick applicable?

@@hengkywijaya7253 You cannot lock the doors with a key in the EIS.

Oh really? Please elaborate.

Your E500 does not have this same oil separator cover. It’s an entirely different engine.

ok, it's a 2010 model with the m273 5.5 v8

I see. You must not be in the USA. In the USA that model is called the E550. Yes it's going to take more time if you don't have much room back there.

Do you get red and yellow lights on the cluster when you turn the key to position 2? Did you use the original engine computer?

@@mercedesbenzspecialist I’m am out of town rn but I’ll tel somone to see what lights do turn on and yeah I used the original computer nothing other than the engine was changed

@@mercedesbenzspecialist yeah we did get the yellow and orange lights on the dash

Since the dash lights illuminate, we know the EIS, key, and emulator are working and in sync. Next check the starter fuse, the starter relay. The starter itself. If all those are good. Check that you’re getting a ground signal from the ECM to the starter relay. I have videos on my website that show you how to do all these checks. mercedesbenzspecialist.net/esl-videos mercedesbenzspecialist.net/ecm-diagnostic-video

@@mercedesbenzspecialist thanks so much for the quick response and the help I’ll do those when I get back home since I’m out rn and I’ll let you know how it goes thanks

Yes. You can use any password as long as you use the same one for the key and esl if it has one.

You can find the solution on our website. mercedesbenzspecialist.net/shop/ols/products/mercedes-c-class-glk-class-e-class-coupe-slk-class-electronic-emulator

We don't have a kit. You have to cut your line out and send it to us for repair. Find more details on our website. mercedesbenzspecialist.net/all-products-%26-services/ols/products/2003-2006-mercedes-benz-sl500-r230-car-killer-hose-repair-service Call or text us at 818-510-3375

I have 2021 C300 and there is no key and we have different dashboard. This video is not for 2021

Thanks for that information. We will update the title of this video.

I bought the strut at rmeuropean.com

yes, always best to leave some room for heat expansion.

@@mercedesbenzspecialist oke thanks

Look up Abrites on Google. You'll find it.

Yes the emulator will not change the function of your keyless go keys. We ask that you send one key and keep one key at home. In the rare case that your package is lost on the way to us or back to you. We can use the data from your key to get you back on track.

That’s true. I tried it, but couldn’t get it. Sometimes the longer route is faster. 👍🏼

Yes. You can send us your ignition switch and key. We will program a ESL emulator to replace the failed steering lock. You can find our ESL emulator programming service here: mercedesbenzspecialist.net/all-products-%26-services/ols/products/mercedes-c-class-glk-class-e-class-coupe-slk-class-electronic-emulator You can also call or text us at: 818 510 3375

Yes it is safe to use. In fact it’s more reliable than the factory lock. As far as security, losing the factory lock is not a significant loss in security. In fact some models of Mercedes like the S, CL, SL, GL, ML classes, don’t even have steering locks. You can’t start the car without a working key.

Glad it helped. I should share my experience with you. The Chinese motor you used to replace the German motor will last less than 2 years. I know this because I used to replace the motors in these for years back in 2015. I did hundreds of them. They all failed within 2 years. That’s why we started using the electronic emulator instead. It’s a permanent fix. If you need one of these in the future. We provide that service. mercedesbenzspecialist.net/shop/ols/products/mercedes-c-class-glk-class-e-class-coupe-slk-class-electronic-emulator

Yes it’s possible, but there are other issues that could cause a stall while driving. With the 2006 model the first thing that comes to mind is the infamous engine balance shaft issue. That would be a timing issue. You would have a hard start or long crank, engine would run poorly. Check engine light 💡. A bad crankshaft sensor could cause a stall while sitting at a stop as well. A faulty engine control module too. Thanks for your comment on my videos.

Steering is always unlocked? If always unlocked. Your ESL has failed. If it unlocks on key insertion to the EIS, do you have red and yellow dash lights when you turn the key twice to the right?

The ignition is locked Will not turn

Car died in drive I turned the windshield wipers on and it kinked and cut wires I repaired them and now I have the ignition problem

@@JoshuaGalvan-vh2hy Ok this just got way more complicated. I'd go back and make sure the repairs you made are good.

Ya I know I've ran through it over and over it's getting frustrating even in neutral key won't turn

This brand is oem for this model. Mercedes uses Corteco, and Lemforder. You can use other brands.

Yes you can.

I’ve never used a key from the dealership. I’ve used Xentry plenty. I’ve heard it’s very simple. Follow the prompts type of deal.

De nada.

Right. The slots are directional opposites too. One horizontal across from a vertical.

The steering lock may have failed. If you send me the original EIS and key I can test them. If they work on the bench. That confirms that your steering lock has failed. Get in touch with me by phone. 818-510-3375 -Michael

We don’t have that model in the USA. I’m not at all familiar with how it works.

It’s connected to the floor shifter. It prevents the key from coming out of the EIS until the transmission is in park.

@@mercedesbenzspecialist and what if we don't connect it?

The transmission explodes! Kidding. I don’t know. If you try it, come back and let us know your findings.

@@mercedesbenzspecialist 😂 i will try and then comment the result in here.

Yes. As long as the part numbers match on the ECM.

Watch my video on checking for a ground signal coming from the engine computer to the starter relay. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXbOaZmlibqfbposi=_Eqb1z_08EqLYCVJ

This video is for those who have removed the airbag to remove the steering wheel to fix the ESL problem in their 2008-2014 C class. It does not apply to every situation of SRS malfunction. If your SRS light is on for a different reason than this will not fix it.

In this case the light is on because the airbag was disconnected to remove the steering wheel. If the the negative cable of the battery was not disconnected while the airbag was disconnected. The SRS light will turn on. Once it’s been reconnected the light can be erased.

Your w220 does not have a steering lock. I can clone your EIS. You need to send it to me along with your key. Call or text at 818 510 3375
