MERCEDES NO START / NO IGNITION ON POWER / KEY NOT WORKING DIAGNOSIS AND FIX!

[@davidgriffin14]

I'm in my 3rd year of automotive repair school and have already spent a few thousand on basic tools. I can't imagine how much you have spent on all the advanced tools you have. On a side note sir, I've been saying this for years on your channel. ..... you should be a teacher. You always explain things so watchers can easily understand them.

[@pontiacsrule8761]

I couldn't agree more with you. He explains everything in detail with easy instructions

[@TYLERTRANCE]

The upfront cost is not as bad as people think. My scope, primary scan tool, immobilizer programmer, J2534 interfaces, and basically anything to do with programming/electrical issues totaled up are under 10k. About 6k is in hand tools, 5k in power tools, and another 5k-ish in specialty stuff. Altogether I think you can put together a really decent set of shop tools for about 30k not including lifts and compressors. What hurts me is all the subscriptions, insurance, and of course the rent+utilities especially when it's slow.

[@JonnyR90]

Man how did you learn all this? The knowledge is just unreal!

[@imfloridano5448]

Tyme, patience, and many vehicles to work with. Practice helps develop automotive knowledge.

[@rafaeltorovip]

You have been uploading a lot of videos lately. Keep doing a good job. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Massachusetts.

[@imfloridano5448]

That Autel key scan tool is a beast

[@ElectroAtletico]

Trim tools are the unsung hero of the Auto Tech's tool box.

[@edlopz1722]

Thank you for another great video !

[@deepthiwijekoon7283]

You make complex issues seem so simple. Practice makes perfect!

[@gezdipz5425]

The g.o.a.t strikes again,top work 👌

[@aleksa52]

What does g.o.a.t mean?

[@gezdipz5425]

@aleksa52 greatest of all time

[@philh9238]

Global commerce ca in Texas is pretty good. Might be better. He has a KZbin channel

[@Tony-rl2fr]

Great job, dude.

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

Eric you're brilliant in your key programing/ recovery of new keys. I'm sure the professional shops and locksmiths appreciate those videos. I would like to see more of the DIY Diagnostics videos you once use to make. I believe that is what your viewers base would appreciate more. Thank you very much for all your content. I have learned a lot thru the years of watching your content.

[@Zoran237]

Great video! 👍🏽 Keep it up and more Mercedes Benz contents please!

[@MechanicTechnicianRepair]

Exselente diagnosis master mi respect para ustes saludes noel matute

[@sekirembekafrank3659]

Wonderful Video. Keep it up Eric 😊

[@saiautorepairs]

Great video.

[@scientist100]

Excellent work boss, thank you for showing the process. This is great info for those trying to get into programming. Also, I heard that the new Mercedez is using new technology that requires a password from their HQ, this is required even for Mercedez techs, since this is an older car, I don't think this is the same but would like to know how true that is.

[@dougobrien2840]

Geeze ,bring back a real key. Man you have a talent for this stuff .Cheers from Australia

[@BejaJ-lz6zk]

Merci 👍

[@imfloridano5448]

Not the "Oh Shyt" wen a trim piece beeaks😂🤣😂👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@nv1493]

I remember when the local hardware store could just cut a new key....

[@didimilano2438]

great video!!

[@KERTER21]

Excellent video, thanks so much

[@diffsoun]

That intro hits hard

[@chadgardee1496]

The best videos cool love this channel

[@philh9238]

You have so many tools that you don’t even need your nastf credentials.

[@carloserazo1286]

Thanks!

[@Ianf1x]

did you open the key up to find fault. normally coil has come away from circuit board.

[@fredsalter1915]

I was wondering if putting a fresh battery in the FOB would have helped.

[@aleksa52]

​Putting a battery in the fob will not help, Transponder is read via radio signal energizing ​device to read data even though it is infa red key. Battery operates transmitter portion to unlock and lock the car.@@fredsalter1915

[@CANlectric]

@@fredsalter1915 new battery won't help in this situation. EIS can supply power to key even if the battery is depleted or missing. It powers the key when inserted immo side via induction power. If I am wrong someone could correct me. Hope this helps someone 😊

[@10malabdullah10]

Fantastic

[@craiggoodwin9704]

I'm still using the original key in my pickup. So how long do those Mercedes keys last? Just thinking about it. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

[@aymenmohamed1134]

👍👍👍👍

[@melissathompson7229]

They make an EIS removal tool which looks like a giant socket with slots on it so you can pull out the ignition switch without disassembling a bunch of dash panels.

[@tomvleeuwen]

I wonder if the key was broken, or just from a different vehicle. Would you have the same symptoms with a key from a different vehicle? BMW vehicles show a warning when the wrong key is used.

[@sambarajas3787]

Are you located in Texas?

[@andyg5004]

What’s the fix for P0340. It’s a Toyota and Idid the timing chain intake cam gear. Ohmed out the cam sensor to the ecu all that is done replaced the connector new oem cam position sensor. . Any pointers . There may be some RF interference. Lotsa people say alternator which tested out fine some people say starter. It’s usually pops at cold start and then throws p0016. It’s an electrical issue that’s causing interference with the cam sensor. Any pointers. I replaced the OcV as well for the intake.

[@russellhltn1396]

I'd like to know what happened to the old key. Since it's IR, it might have been enough dirt to prevent it from working and then with a lot of tries the rolling code prevented it from working once it was cleaned.

[@GroundedDiagnostics]

😊😊👍👍

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Doz dis shizer 😄

[@bobansupergenije7512]

Bravo

[@ourv9603]

Once you can read the key with your tool, I would put a new battery in the key. !

[@GeneG-wk2mz]

I need this set up want all I need to get ?

[@1mikesmiley]

I have a 211 eis out of a junkyard. I did this whole procedure. Test working key says success. Only thing is the key doesn't turn the ignition. Any suggestions?

[@aleksa52]

Some eis have to have esl electronic steering lock wired in from same vehicle to make the eis turn

[@1mikesmiley]

Thank you.

[@ChadtheDad23]

I was hoping the wiggle method would work

[@thesnipersnestandmore7461]

Why didn’t you do an onboard programming? You had everything you needed..

[@pj2123]

Cars have evolved over the last 25 years or so, mainly for the worse. What's wrong with having a couple of discrete screws for removing trim instead of plastic disposable clips that usually break?

[@claudiosantana3320]

So the ir key stopped working because it got smashed or something?

[@BillGates_Alex]

How much did you charge the customer for this?

[@notsureigaf]

7:42 LMAO

[@OkayAhhgain]

Their shop guy tried to make the key lol

[@herbtaitt9117]

where are you located ,would like to pick your brain a little,really learn from all your videos

[@pierrelandry4742]

Oops.

[@serafinroman1313]

Wait a minute every modern car key is power by a internal Battery. If the key Battery is dead the car will not read and it wont start the ignition process. You never open the battery power KEY to check if it has a Battery at all. HONDA KEYS give the driver a warning that powered battery is WEAK and should replace it immediately or else the car wont start !!! Something does not seem right in your analysis of the situation.
