Excellent video. This is the exact issue I'm having. Now I can see how east it is to fix. Thanks! 👽✌️

Thanks for the info

same problem on the w211 series if you put too much tap on that piece it will work but i discovered that on my w211 the car unlocks itself after a couple of minutes im not sure its because of the tape or something else

Thanks Dane! My HJS just started this last jam right after bringing a Freidman BE-100 dlx into the house. I'm relieved to find out it is just a power switch and not a jealous Marshall thing LOL.

W211 also has that issue just a FYI great fix

Thank you I did it for 2005 clk it works perfect . Hard to believe that !!!

Thanks very much, Dane! This has been malfunctioning for over a year; the spring replacement videos make it look difficult. Just tried your method today with a couple of turns of 3M Scotch Magic Tape and it works! The 2002 C180 Sedan (W203.035) door lock actuator did not appear to unscrew; Magic Tape is thin and very adhesive.

I have exact same issue. Last night it was approx 25 second delay, at a live gig! Almost had a heart attack. I gott try this

Didn’t work for me, I think mine is too far gone.

Thank you so much!!! I fixed my 2007 Mercedes Benz C230; You saved me a lot of money!!! I am very happy that I fixed it right away!!! God bless you!!!

Bro, you saved me so much time thank you 😁

Mine won't unscrew🙄

You didn’t fix anything , you modeled a good door on the last portion of video

GENIAL !!!!!! merci beaucoup DANE.Now it is ok for my E w211 200cdi . Mille merci from FRANCE

Mercedes. One of the worst engineered vehicles.and most expensive parts.😮😮😮

will try this out . Noise is so annoying and a large job to replace the spring. cheers.

Well done, sir!

Thank you so much! I just bought a used c320 with a jumping lock and I feel proud that I was able to fix it in a matter of seconds.

Bravo!!!

Yup. Having the exact same issue with the same model. Thanks for the great video!

thats the problem i have with a TSL60 ill try the switches thanks! really helpful!

$2 verses $538 🎉 dude, you rock!

I found another way to fix this issue. You can disassemble the power button and polish burned contacts with fine sandpaper

thank you for this

Genius

Mi servirebbe la traduzione in italiano

Sorry to say it did not work on my99 ML320

Five stars to you! I haven't tried it yet, but I will post again after I try it.

Thank you !

Bro the one that issues was the left side stop playing

After some searching turned up nothing, I gave up on it for a bit. Decided to revisit, determined to figure it out, and happened on your video. Ordered the parts, they arrived today and swapped them out - no more power on delay! I timed it recently before this and it came alive at 28 seconds! I think the engineer who designed these power switches also did the ones for the old CompaQ Proliant 3000 Servers; knowing exactly how long one will wait before making a physical effort to approach and start checking everything... Thanks again!!

well done,just a thought you could maybe use shrink wrap instead of tape.

they are right that works One question brother I have a Mercedes the same as the problem that when I put the second one if it closes automatically from the inside the controls do not work for me they will fix it for me normally I open it with Manuel key when I walk with it if they all close me the doors from the inside when leaving the same thing I have to close from the inside with the button inside the lock so that they all close, you know as if I queta that centralized locking

Super helpful, perfect video, thank you for the part number too.

You are genius, look less than 2 minutes. Dam it works. Thanks

Mine broke an half any ideas other than taking off the door panel 🙏🏻

It’s a complex amp. Think mine needs new tubes

Cool

Brilliant.

Gonna try this on my Ml320. I just put my window switches in (broke 2 weeks ago from extreme cold on top of being 20 years old)!. This is next on my list.

It worked, thank you!

this is insightful. Saved my money 💵

Thanks for making this video - nice to see my JVM repair will be no more than a minor inconvenience!

Fantastic, thanks.

I'm getting power, but getting no sound. How do I know if it's a fuse ? I checked the tubes...and they seem to be ok. No cloudiness or anything. Assuming it's a fuse?

Good stuff man! 04 clk320 and worked accordingly..thanks for the vid!!

Thank You! Do you still own that car? If yes, is that "magic" tape still holding and no more lock pin bouncing?

What a genius repair!!! Thank you for sharing this fix with me and saving me money and aggravation.

I love you

Legend!!!!
