With your video I could start the car and with minimal steering ability and many times forward and backward driving I manage to drive it into to the warm service place :)
@@Dashikardashian it is repaired. The small 12V motor for steering wheel locking was replaced by a repair shop for car electronics. I did only remove the parts from the car with help from some RUclips videos on that topic.

Awesome work around if you don't want to pay for a tow truck to get to the shop, or repaired it yourself if you can. I got stuck with mine, luck is that I have 3 free towing services a year with my insurance. This also leaves the system vulnerable to car theft as the ESL is a theft deterrent.

Thank you so much… I followed your steps in the video and it worked and start but the steering didn’t unlock after letting the engine get warm up I turn off the engine, cover the relay ( green ) fuse and then wait for some few minutes… Insert the key back to and turn it to ignition mode, the dash board lights come up and also start with the key and the steering got unlocked
Damn. Worked amazingly on my car. Got in to go to work today and suddenly my car wouldn’t start. Just the nice “remove key from ignition” message with no dash light or anything. Now I can get it over to my local mechanic to have it looked at asap
Holy shit why are you not famous. This is probably the smartest thing i've watched all year. You are a genius. How long will this trick work for? Does this mean I need a new esl motor? My steering wheel doesn't even lock so I am not sure why I am having this issue.
☺️ i am not a genious.. this will work for ever if your keys re recognized by the system. Well if the problem is the motor then i guess you can do it your self but if it is the circuit board then i guess u have to get it fixed asap.
@@harritls7155 Stop it you are a genius! If it wasn’t for you my car would still be stuck and probably sitting at some shop. Now I am able to still drive it and I can find a fair price to get this issue fixed. Do you think that starting the car this way could harm anything like the starter or anything else etc?
Hi I have this same issue but my car is a manual and when I do this procedure nothing happens? Could it because it a manual and you need the clutch pressed down to start the car? If I press in the clutch and do this will it work? Regards Steve
Hy guys thanking you all It helped me temporarily as well thank you very much. But the vehicle stopped working again. It's E212 2013 can someone give me the permanent salutations as I've been told those model's doesn't have ELV ESL and all this happened after the car engine was washed in the car wash. wiv the strong jet washer.
Thank you. Hoping this works on my old C220 diesel. Just occasionally, and mostly when cold, I turn the key and though everything lights up ok, the starter doesn't spin. If I'm patient and keep trying it after a few minutes it'll start and it's generally OK for the rest of the day. Getting more frequent though. Thanks again.
Hi buddy, Our diagnostic is showing error code U016800 & C220500 so both of them are steering wheel column, but tried your trick to get it to run manualy, but didn't work with that. Do you know what could go wrong at this stage ? Its a 250 CGI and right hand drive Cheers
This was an amazing workaround and helped me verify that the steering lock was actually the problem. Mine is stuck in the unlocked position, luckily. But, even though the car started, I am still stuck in park. Could the steering lock be refusing to allow a signal to the shift lock? Oh, and THANK YOU!!!
In my case, the motor of the esl overheated and damaged the circuit board. Luckily the steering got unlocked some how..that was the main reason of the problem with my car
Was wondering if this will continue to work after the eis is completely non function? Or will it harm anything? Seems like it should not as you are forcing the starter the same way the key would.
Could somehow the fault has to do with the fact of full rainy day (storm)? I have the same problem after raining cats and dogs. I see in your video that it is a rainy day as well..
I work on a lot of mercedes sprinter van cdi vehicles, this is a cool trick, I was considering trying this as I regularly ping that starter solenoid relay in order to diagnose a no start issue, I am curious what the 7.5 amp fuse is for? is it EIS fuse? or ESL fuse? can anyone clear that up for me?
Exactly what I was thinking, want to apply this to another model: 2010 gl450 and thus would want to cross the components and their locations for my model

Greetings. I tried everything shown on your video but the car won’t start. The engine swings but will not start and the steering wheel is still in the locked position. Maybe that is why it won’t start. I have a 2015 E350. The dash lights and everything comes on.
hello, tried today it worked with the same procedure without risking damaging the relay by removing the plastic cover. Remove the relay. Locate the 2 terminals of the open contact. Shunting with a wire closes the contact and starts the starter (instead of manually operating the relay without the cover). The engine is running. Reconnect the relay.
I followed the instructions exactly as they are here. i hear the clicking noise when i put in the fuse but when i press on the relay the engine does not start.... also, my key does not work to lock or unlock. would this work with a faulty key? i am suspecting that is my issue now and not the ESL/EIS
Hello, sorry for this late answer. The relay won t solve the els problem. You have to get it fixed of course. This s just to help people to start temporarily.
The 7.5a fuse that was removed and reinserted, I assume it is the EIS fuse, or am I incorrect? Thank you very very much for posting such an informative video, by the way.
And if it is then what would you suggest... My instrumentation and lights light like normal ..the starter simply does not engage on cold days...in the forums they mention a k50 relay on some models that is notorious for bad solder joints but i do not have that relay / distribution block on my 2010 GL... This has immobilized my gl450 on every cold day below 30 or so degrees for the past 3 years..... allot of days in Chicago
