But in a case you changed the low range completely and when you put the car to neutral to put the light on back but it just blink severally and off Instead of ON. What really happened?

[@taffy7hfa897]

Good job , and very informative ! I have this problem with my 2002 ml270 although car operates fine, the low range indicator light flashes for about 5 seconds after startup, have been told motor failed to complete cycle last time low range was engaged so should probably fit new one .

[@WorldMechanics]

I just changed mine blinking stop but it won’t go in low range

[@talha946]

I have ml320 w163 1998 model..... The front two tires got stuck suddenly and would not move.... The mechanic suggested to remove the front two axles and make it rear wheel drive and I said OK.... But still the car does not move..... Now after watching your video I am thinking maybe the motor got stuck.... Whats your opinion?

[@angiejones3523]

Hi, We have a problem on our ML W163. Previous owner installed new radio unit (not MB) and ruined Low Range Switch relay. Looks like broke the unit and then glued the switch to try and make it look "normal" but doesn't work. Unfortunately, we didn't think to test as we really don't need low range. But, if easy we would like to get it working again. Can you please do a vid on how to remove and replace the switch/relay? Thanks

[@Bobthebuilder140]

Please I need ur help bro I’m working on a Ml 320 change the cunductor plate and shifter the first scan I got sed the silly noise to three and six we’re bad so I change the conductor plate, change the shifter and deleted the codes and then once I started the car and put it in drive the check engine light came back on and now the Dakota keeps coming up at 047 cents something is wrong with the transfer case thank you auto repair guy 🤘🏿

[@dennispeaks]

Thanks, this is what I needed for the wife's suv. Do you have anything on how to manually lower the roll bars on w208 clk? Thanks.

[@mattblackman9184]

Thanks so much for your videos! The Low Range light came on and stayed on when I was driving so that my ML-320 was running 3000+ rpm at 40 kph. I checked my ATF fluid and it was low. I then added as per your instructions and voila! Transmission is working properly (fingers crossed).

Para que le puso silcon.?

[@zeekhan6302]

I have an issue with a 2002/52 Ml270 cdi auto when i start the vehicle the low range flashes 6-7 times then goes off and even after the light goes off if I try pressing the low range button nothing happens. When I drive the vehicle for a few days its fine then suddenly whilst driving the car will just go out of gear and over-rev and slow down so I use the tip-ironic and hit the gear back down to 3/4 and it sorts itself out agin for a few days then the same thing happens again. Would you say that this is a faulty transfer Case - your help would be most appreciated

[@diniliyanaaa6427]

Where did you put the relay ml 270 cdi? Urgent! Thank you

[@diniliyanaaa6427]

"[HISTORY] P2600 The voltage supply of circuit 87 has under voltage" what does this mean? Where should i put relay?

[@Cusemagic]

I having the same problem with my 2001 ML320 with 20700 miles 😬, so this is the part I need to change? Good video Question please , with the light flashing at startup does it affect the drive by any chance? Please advise

[@tthebarber555]

Cuse Magic how did you fix yours

[@Cusemagic]

T the barber Same issue as mentioned some months ago, I did a reset by hitting it with a rubber hammer, this process reset the motor for a while but after a few days it reverts back to the malfunction mode of flashing light So I bought a second hand low range part on eBay and replaced the faulty part and since then no more flashing lights, all working like it should Once that low range motor is faulty, it appears it has to be replaced Hope this helps

[@tthebarber555]

Was your SUV stuck in lower gears

[@segunjohn488]

But if the flashing doesn't stop when you change the transfer case what should I do?

[@nvkulk]

Thanks

[@hoangphudpm8]

Thanks.

[@wetsoup]

mine is stuck in low range - was at a stop light and it dropped into low range - will this solve the problem. No I didn't put it in low range and it is not in limp mode as I have had limp mode before. Low Range light is on goes out when you stop truck and comes back on when you put it in gear and drive 2 meters

[@tthebarber555]

John Komar good evening how did you fix ya suv

[@wetsoup]

T the barber I found a short. The control module which is on the drivers side right above the gas pedal was hanging by a broken zip tie, go figure. anyway the module fell down and the wire wore and touched the steering column grounding it out and putting it in low range. so if there is a short in the wire anywhere and it goes to ground it will put the transfer case in low even if your doing 25 MPH

[@tthebarber555]

ok thx

[@dataviusjeffery9448]

T the barber did your work

[@BrolyPT]

[@timbenson428]

ARE YOU KIDDING??? You don't know what kind of silicone it is? Just remove some silicone from your girl friend.
