- I had an issue one morning that the car did want to start and there was no crank, to find out it is the ESL issue and this video is to show you how to start to move it or get it to the shop to get it fixed.
I had a same problem and tried it and did work,and what I did also was that I turned off and started again and worked and you saved me tons of money and lots of time that if I had to go to dealer and dropped the car and God knows how long I have to wait for car to fix and thank you mercedess Benz dealers that I called 10 times to 3-4 dealers around me and non of them picked up my call and encouraged me to do something myself and did work.thank you with your good info and video and thanks to mercedes dealer that are busy drinking coffee and not picking up my calls and asking to leave the voice that they are getting back in day or two if they finished their coffee.🙏👍👍👍
Thank you very much for explaining the procedure step by step, it was very useful to me....
Thank you for your video Mustafa, it helped me a lot, keep it up, there are many people who need your videos!!!
It worked for me today. Thank you so much!
Hi Habibi 😂, it worked for me like a charm. My mechanic said to take it to dealership, could be an Ignition switch . I called the dealer and it was $1250 for swit hours and $750 for starter motor.
Tomorrow, I am going to dealer and will just buy the fuse block.
Stay blessed 🙌
Did it work just by replacing the fuse block?
@MrVampiro82 No, I cut it and press the button to start the cat, it worked temporarily, do it once or get someone to take out and re-program ESL . Else you have to replace starter motor, if you do it too many times
What was the final problem and how did you fix it
also works on Mercedes C 250 2014????
Much appreciated Mohamed, you're a legend. Saved me big time brotha' :D
What was wrong twitch the car happening to my car
Ty bro. I just learned a new trick.. I recommend you change those idler pulleys and possibly belt
It went for service already and we changed the pulleys and belt.
What was the actual problem with the vehicle? Did it need a new starter motor?
@@mohamedmoustafa6014worked like a charm thank you! Steering wheel works but when I put it in gear it will not move, any ideas?
@@onepeopleunited-lg7rxsame with me car starting bot steeeing lock 😢
Salam Mohamed, many thanks it worked for me and managed to get the car to the mechanic, thanks again.
Yeah, but what was the real problem and what was the price?

Yes I need to know as well happening to my car now after trying to get a jump Mercedes c300 2010
in my experience, manual c300 2008 the first time it happened, i tried jump starting for like half an hour then twisting the wheel and it worked
the second time i tried twisting the wheel, jump start, pop start, removing the cover of the relay and removing and putting the 7.5 thingy back into the fuse box like this video and it didn’t work… our mechanic said to “just wait and keep trying”-had to get it towed back home and the next morning, it worked again after a jump start.
both times it would just say “take the key out of the ignition” with no other lights on and it wouldn’t crank.
i really don’t know what the issue is :/ i just had to let it rest
Great video what fuse and relay are those control?
You can also use a wire if you don't feel comfortable with the relay.
Connect the top and bottom slots.
Wait wdym
@@keithvia6470 you can use a jump wire, I don't know how else to explain it just a small piece of wire cut exposing the cooper.
How to connect both ends of the terminal for a second.
Please can I contact you for help. I have this same issue but it’s on a 2016 Cla 250. I can’t figure out what fuse and relay to pull cuz it’s different on mine
This is great to maybe get you out of a jam. But I hope you did some belt/pulley repair too.
What can I do to fix this what is the real diagnostic on this issue
This worked for me just now. Thank you God bless you sir🙏
What was the issue
Very useful, thanks!
Will this work if it says key doesn't belong to vehicle. Both of my fobs stopped working after fob battery replacements
how do you remove the green cover from the starter thingy?? finding it really difficult
Hello please I have same issues, please if the fuse board spoil it can cost the same problem or
Me puedes decir cual es el fusible de los espejos Mercedes 220 W204
Thanks for sharing.
Work perfect thankyou
Hi Mohammad Brother, I've changed the relay and new fuse, still won't crank, any ideas ?
Thank you
The car has startet
But I can't drive to the mechanic because the steering wheel is still locked
Any suggestions??
I like your shoes😊
Hi ,Mohammed, I have the same problem, how do you fix it?
thank you so much 👍👍👍👍
Thanks brother
My question is:
"If the ESL fails, will it generate a generic or brand-specific error code at the OBD2 level?"
the engine sounds very healthy
He eats his greens 😂
This is happening to the models that use that system from around those years, EVERYONE report to NHTSA and to MBUSA, they have to fix this for free or a CLASS action will cost them more
Are they really going to fix it I’m going to call them now
Excelenteeee broooo
And If y have start eror this wil work?
How did you open the green relay box????? Please help I’m trying to do mine now
Pick tool or a small flathead screwdriver
Gracias 🎉🎉
I have same problem, I start the car this way as on this video but my steering still locked, is any way I can unlock steering? Thank you
No you’ll need to replace the ESL
@@BRZZN these idiots. Don’t listen bro. It is a antitheft device. The ESL is broken. In the lock position. That’s why you’re fucking steering is locked. The motor is fucked. It is an antitheft device.!!! fuck🤬🤬🤬🤬 all these Mickey Mouse mechanics on RUclips thinking they know better fix the fucking thing properly or you can have the same fucking problem!!!!!!
What about the steering wheel still locked on it after it start how is that not disengaged?
I have the SAME question!!
It’s the ignition module in dash that you insert the key into happened to mine it’s $2100 to fix and it’s a dealer fix only
Mine was not, i just had a key shop replace my esl with an emulator and its working fine now. $450 fix.
21 hundo is crazy
ألله يحفظك من كل شر يارب العالمين
What kind of relay is that ?
Ignition, starter ,or eis or esl?
Starter
Tnx
I have a c350 2013, i juste remove the fuse 7.5 amp and put it back and worked. What dose it need to be replaced?
This is a temp solution to get the vehicle to start and take it to the nearest shop for repair, that would only work if the steering wheel is not locked. The ESL needs to be replaced with a new one or you can remove it and program an emulator.
Thank you very much. I really apreciate it
I did this and the car started, but when I turned off the ignition and tried to start it again, the problem returned again.
Hi Mohammad,
I’ve managed to run the engine as in video do you’ve any fix for steering locked? So I can take it to mechanic please?
I got the car on but my steering wheel is still locked
What was wrong with it my car is doing this now
@@yigokagedid you figure out was was the problem my car did this after trying to get a jump bought a new battery and does this now
@@nissiaget2itacademy569 dude I left my car at my coworker’s house and then came back the next morning to get it towed but my car turned on with the key and everything was fine lmfao idk how tf it’s even possible but yeah god is good I guess 🤣
Yes he is
I understand what you've done there. But I don't understand what an emulator is that replaces the ESL. Could you explain please.
The EIS emulator is a device that replaces the mercedes ESL for half the price and you don’t have to worry about being in the that situation again.
Find someone in your area that would do the job and program it for you.
@@mohamedmoustafa6014 Thank you Mohamed.
@@mohamedmoustafa6014 don’t listen to him man it’s gonna be fucked up again don’t use an emulator you just need to replace the ESL motor. The whole fucking module. OR else is gonna be fucked up again don’t listen to these idiots!!!!
Starter relay short to battery meaning
Is this a common failure in this car? We have a 2018.
Yes, it happened to me 2 years ago. It is a pain in the ass to repair and expensive.
I have the same , mine is c203 2003
How do u get the cover off the fuse
Did u find a answer yet having a hard time taking the cover off
@@broderickj7494 no had to get new car
Will this only work if car’s steering wheel is unlocked?
I think, Yes
I did this to mine the car did start. But when I put it in Reverse it doesn’t do anything it’s basically in neutral. And then Neutral works. But after that it does not want to go into Drive at all like something is jammed someone please help
Check your transmission module
What happens if you keep doing this with out fixing it ?
You’re risking to lock the steering while driving or while its parked. This is only temporary fix at your own risk to move the vehicle to the nearest shop.
I got the car to start but my steering wheel is locked. How can I fix that?
There is no way that you can unlock the steering, unless you take it to the shop and they take the ESL out
Just worked for my car thanks bro, what the permanent fix tho ?
9/10 you have to remove your ignition switch and have it connect to an emulator to have it "coded" his video is how to get your car started to get it to shop or somewhere safe if it's not your home parked etc.
Not shorting your car out and going to a mechanic and replacing your ESL.
I got the car on but my wheel is still locked…
I can’t get the darn relay cap off smh
You can by pass the system but so can the car chiefs😂.
Car still needs key fob
The steering wheel lock , if the steering wheel is locked it won’t start
I believe this only works if your ESL fails in the unlocked position.
C200 no cranck need help
Did you ever find out what it was?
Hello brother
Can you link me the EIS emulator? Or a youtube video cant find anything
What was wrong with the car this is happening to my car
How do you fix this to where you don’t have to keep doing this?
did you find any solutions?
Did you sort it out?
So the dealership replaced my battery and that I guess fixed it for me.@@lxcki9290
@@Saj1.02 I did not, the battery was replaced and it has been fine ever since.
My car doesn’t recognize the key. Key turns but doesn’t crank doesn’t make click sound I don’t get any accessory lights.
I have the same problem. Did you get it fixed?
@@Saj1.02 yes for me it wasn’t my eis. I blown a main fuse for the eis it was under the carpet of dash on passenger side
What kind of Mercedes mine is C300 2010 will look for this main fuse this happened after trying to get a jump I feel it’s a fuse as well
Will the steering still be locked? Is there any way to unlock it?
I was lucky that my steering wasn’t locked, there is no way around it if its locked.
السلام عليكم اخي انا عند نفس المشكلة شوالحل لوسمحت
وعليكم السلام، الحل هو تغيير ال ESL بآخر جديد، أو استبداله بال emulator.
Hello..I see this video and good.I start my caar .what must to change that egain start normal? Thank you
Hi, you have to either replace the electronic steering lock ESL, or have somebody install an emulator instead of the ESL to get the car to work properly again.
@@mohamedmoustafa6014 thank you
FYI This won’t work for 2013+
I tried this and it did not turn on, does this mean it's not my ESl EIS problem? I also checked all fuses
Your starter motor
Did you get it sorted? Was it the ESL?
I got the car to turn over but the shifter won’t move anyone have any ideas ?
Pop shifter cover off and there is a yellow button in there. Push down on yellow button and shifter will be free
Yes, you need to push down the yellow button (with a pen) and move to D or R while holding down... Yellow button under the leather shifter cover, just pull up or use yr emergency key (inside yr remote key) as a lever to lift the leather our
You did not address if the ESL has failed in the lock position, yes you "might" be able to start the car, but you cannot drive it as the steering wheel is locked.
You’re right, mine was not locked
What was the real fix?
@Joby Fluorine I think EIS is good, it recognizes key. I do not hear the ESL solenoid. Dash does not light up either. So agree, ESL.
@Joby Fluorine yes, im not a mechanic but i know that my problem was the esl and i took it out and replaced it with an emulator that works just as fine.
The real fix is either you replace the ESL or take it to some one with can put an emulator instead of the ESL and program it.
Forgive me for my ignorance, but what is ESL and what is an emulator?
@@jimmymanan5997 Electronic Steering lock
