Do you need to place your key in the slot, when you want to change the little electromotor in the module?
I'm an industry professional of 30 years and I now I work for a scan tool company as tech/sales support. This is one of the most thorough, useful presentations I have ever seen. Bravo sir! 👏🏻
Top man, had the same issue on my w204 C220 in 2011 got repaired by Mercedes cost £4000 car was 3 years old, now in 2021 same issue started again leaving me stranded in a cemetery. Managed to get it going again and realised it had something to do with me taking my key out. So I kept the key in at all times taking all the right precautions.. NOT ADVISED but it helped..I did this for 2 YEARS keeping it in my garage and didn't tell a soul not even my family. I did take it out for the odd run now and then but very cautious at all time when leaving it alone. I was quoted £950 to fix by a friend at a local Mercedes-Benz specialist. I considered it till I saw your UA-cam video. I kept putting it off then shown a local garage the video two weeks ago he said he can do the job for £600. I finally plucked up the courage to have a go myself after watching it one more time and also replacing the little motor in the ESL for £7. Wasn't easy but wasn't too hard I enjoyed the challenge. Job done car up and running no issues what so ever. Total cost £53.49 for tools and esl motor. Massive thanks to this guy couldn't of done it without you bruv. Respect 👍
Im glad you found my video helpful and got it going for now , hopefully the repair lasts longer. If you need an emulator in the future , i can definitely beat the price you were quoted.
Probably the vampire's wanted your blood!
Hey, do you have a link for the motor, did you buy the screwdriver things for the pins? I got quoted £700 from mercedes dealer, shocked they charged you £4k!
That’s so weird? I had the same problem Mercedes only charged about $870. Wow, 4k was what they told me if I needed the knocking fix in the engine.
£4k !!! - that is outrageous , even for a Merc dealer. Mine is still functional at 128k miles but i am anticipating replacing it before it fails and my local Merc Indy quoted me £430 to replace as original
A brilliant video that provides 2 important lessons. The lock is reachable without dismantling the entire dash and the lock most probably has not totally failed so a light tap will probably give you another chance to get it to unlock. Well done. For those not wanting to use an emulator, remember that the lock motor can be replaced at minimum effort and cost.
Thank you.
I have the same problem and I'll get the guts to do it myself and repair the module. Wish me luck. Thanks for the video very helpful.
WATCH THIS VIDEO! Your presentation is the most thorough, complete, and fat free fix of what I've been chasing down in a friend's 05 clk320. Thank you!
the best run down on youtube, detailed and spot on.
Thank you! This is the best video for M.B. ESL repair video !
you are the MAN! thank you so much
Awesome information , man god bless 👍
Merci pour votre démonstration très utile pour les amateurs comme moi
Found a person to make the emulator and then changed it myself, I had a bit of luck the ESL failed in the unlock position took me a while to manage it but id did. Thank You so much your video saved me a ton of hassle a fair bit of money 👍👍👍.You rock man!
Your the best of all the videos i have seen on the esl replacement very detailed video and explanation 👍 thanks for sharing

Thanks for your great video very useful.
And could be much more to show how you've read the data from the ELV anyway.
Quick question,
Is there an ELV on E200 2013 thank you very much.
Just opened mine No elv.
More updates,
I've added a key to E500 after successfully programmed spear EIS locked no sound of ELV turned out to be the f EIS.

Hi there. After the ESL are disconnected, can the key be removed from the EIS for the duration of the repairs on the ESl.......Mercedes c200 kompresser, 2007 model......thanks for the video
Great great video mate and nice explanation. I have also done plenty of this to my customers without steering removal 😃😁💪👍
can i cut both the lock position bolt ? and the tangue sticking out so it wont lock anymore ?
This is a great video with tons of valuable information. I had the same issue with my car and was able to unlock the steering wheel by tapping on it. I would like to have you guys remove the ESL and install the emulator. Where are you located. Is there a number I can call you guys?
Thank you for all the great info.
Awesome thanks 😊
Thank you for making this especially part 2 we all appreciated it i cant wait to send you my equipment i never understood why dont they sell a repair kit but after comments after comments it will just happen again
Your welcome , contact me by email if interested in proceeding with an emulator

Ive seen several videos on here with people doing that in the fuse box under hood thety jump the starter relay after removing 7.5 fuse for a few mins then car starts???
Great video
Love that Skyline in the blue.
Thank you!
Good video, thanks. Question: I have a BMW e90 with ELV locked, it seems impossible to remove the lock without removing column which I haven't been able to do. I installed the emulator but steering is locked so the problem still exists. any suggestions? thanks.

Hi, what are the sockets sizes? Are they torx sockets? Thanks a lot.👍🏼
Hello I would like to know what I need to do in order to get the emulator I have a bad esl I was able to get get my car started again by following your method by tapping the steering column I want to avoid ever having this issue again
My 2012 has no crank no start and the key fob will not come out? Do you have any ideas? The battery fully charged and it’s in park
Man I have 3 of them. 2014 c300, 07 c280 , c320. Learning my babies..
How did you remove the OBD
Do you have to program the new motor if that’s all it was
do you need to program emulator to all models? i have seen someone put simulator or emulator with out programing, my point . if i need to program emulator how can i do in my back yard ? still i need the software that can not get easy
Hello, great vid, I think this is my issue.
1. I have a 2017 Metris, they call it the “Metris Class” but all the Mercedes stuff seems to have a “W” then a 123# etc.
2. I can’t find a W # for my Metris, like if I wanted to order the actuator, I’m 50/50 liking the plug and pray option.
Tried eBay but I just don’t know what W to order.
3. You mentioned it’s easier or faster with key and starter, can you do a universal program for the ESL for my Metris?
Yes contact me for more information.
Is there anyway to have an emulator programmed without sending the failed one in and have it ready just encase the module fails while on a trip ?
So mine just got really loud today but still disengages. Could there be some internal damage I should look at right away?
I have a friend who has a 2011 c300 that did the and stranded him in town. After he towed it to a shop . After trying to get the steering wheel to unlock which he did apparently it now has a fuse nuber 24 blowing in front sam unit no com ect . You ever seen this happen before thanks
I need to get the part and get it fixed how can i contact you and find out how to send it to you and how much
He is 1000% right!
Had this happen to my E350 2 days ago, I undid the steering column adjuster pull wheel in out up down a few times and got it working again, how long it lasts who knows. What I will say is I had loads of fault codes I had to clear, this probably can also be done by disconnecting battery for 15 mins.. hope this helps someone like this video does 👍
Basically what you did there was sort of tap the ESL to get it to work until it stops again.That is not a permanent fix but only temporary. Suggest you replace it now before it fails in the lock position.
So I bought this car with no key for my daughter's 16th birthday and she is extremely excited about her first car is a Benz and that is cool but I need a price on what it will cost or if there is a easier way than sending it is
Where can i tap with the hammer?
In the middle?
I have esl problems 2000 Mercedes clk320 how can I get in touch with you
Hey I have a question what about if no sound or dash lights pop up once you insert the key could still be the ESL?
Cus I’m having same issue car won’t start I even check my starter but is good. A month or 2 bk car didn’t want start I had a dangle left ,right the steering wheel and the car started this happen 2-3 times in morning , also no dash lights or sound had come up when car didn’t want start.
Yes they also fail completely without any sound. The fact you hit the wheel left and right , that causes the steering wheel module to get effected and hence it worked.
How do I get you to program the key with the emulator you showed in this video. I have a 2011 mercedes 350 sport. You did an excellent job and video was superb.
thank you for positive feedback , I will need your key and ignition switch sent out to me to be able to send you back a programmed emulator ready to plug and play. Contact me by email for details and pricing. Mustafajafarh@gmail.com
@@MuLife I will contact you later today. Thanks
Hi, Great Video.
I have a 2012 C300 and I’m having this issue. I removed the ESL and replaced the motor in it and still no luck. Still says remove key but no instrument cluster lights or anything. The car locks and unlocks with key fob.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Brake light switch when u step on brake pedal a lil switch get compress
Its not always the motor that fails , best to get an emulator or replace the ESL.
Are you in New Jersey I have that problem right now ?
Great video! Very helpful. Do you only need the key to program the emulator, or do you need both key and ignition switch?
Will need the key and ignition switch. It can be done without the key but faster if available.
@@MuLife so when the ESL goes bad and I put my key in the key does not turn and the red light on the key flashes while the key is in the egnition. Is that the problem because I notice earlier on before the key quit turning it would sometimes turn and then sometimes it wouldn't now it does not work at all whats your oppion? So note when I put the key in and turn i notice that the the instead of the key flashing red it would aluminate green then start but when it don't want to turn and it stays in lock position the key flashes red
@@biggd9817 what was the issue
@@MindingmyBizzness it needed a new key which was $577 but thank God it wasn't nothing else. The last key would work occasionally and then it wouldn't start the car at all but the door locks trunk release work but after a while none of that worked. I checked the signal at an auto parts store and it said that the key was fine I changed the battery but it STI wouldnt start the car so i paid the money and it fired right up no more issues at all it runs like a dream. Thanks for being wing to help i do appreciate that.
@@biggd9817 did the wheel unlock when you put in old key or was it not responsive at all?
I own a Mercedes GLK and when I turn it on, I don't hear that sound?!
What does that mean?
Does this mean that the EIS has been removed?
If I wanted to send in my EIS, does it need to be the old one that I took off with the original key or could it be from a donor car with my original key? Thanks.
It has the be the original one from the vehicle.
Great video thank you very much!! I am having this issue with my car (2008 c350) where can i buy this emulator?
Please check description for contact information
Hello,
Great video!
1. 6 months ago when it first have this problem. When I turn the key or use my push start button, no sounds what so ever, but dash cluster lights comes on.
Mechanic say it’s my EIS cost $1750 to replace. I never fixed it, because car starts and runs intermittently. It starts after a while when it stall.
2. Now, when it happens, no sounds, and no dash light clusters at all! But car still starts ups after a while, and check engine light disappeared.
What do you think? Is is my ESL only or both ESL and EIS. Can you give me some suggestions?
Hard to tell but most likely EIS was your issue at the beginning , but now it could be a combination.
you can send me your units for testing. contact me if interested.
Excellent video, are you in Canada or US?
I had no lights on my C300 - 2011 . Got a guy charging $350 to re program the ESL and $200 to install it back. Now the lights are On In Cluster
but car not starting, he is saying - The Starter motor is gone... ? Can that be true ?? because I drove it quiet a few times with relay by-pass method
Please assist.

WhAt if you can hear the suction of the key and have power but no crank ?.?. I have that issue in my c300 2010 today.. I put the key it makes the noise like the key is inside. But when I turn it nothing everything has power. But ignition doesn’t start and I can’t even put it in neutral
I would start by checking the fuses. If all good get your EIS checked.
What is the black thing you plug in at the last on the video? Is it replace for the ESL and never unlock again?
That is the emulator that gets replaced instead of the electronic steering lock.
Contact me at mustafajafarh@gmail.com if you are interested for details.
can you do this method if you have the power telescoping steering wheel position and not the manual. I really want to get this done before it fails. would i also have to remove the eis. please advise
Yes
Awesome, thanks. I just sent an email. @@MuLife
Hi Thanks, If I'm going the emulator route, can I just leave the old lock in if it's in the unlocked position, and not connected. @@MuLife
Thank you. This video was awesome. So if I send you a key I could buy an emulator plug and play? I’m in Japan and communication at local MB dealer might be a hassle if they will even program an emulator for me. I have a U.S. military address for USPS.
You are welcome , yes i will need you to send me your key and ignition switch for me to be able to program an emulator snd send them back ready to plug and play. Contact me by email in description for details.
@@MuLife Okay, thanks. Wow, ignition switch too. I’ll have to think about this more and consider all options.
ok. So at about 10 minutes you put the key in and take out the ESL. But you disconnect the ESL from the car *while the key is in and there is power to the car*? Is that right? Don't you risk getting an airbag error by messing with the electrics with the battery connected? Shouldn't you 1) unbolt the ESL while it's disengaged from the steering column then 2) disconnect the battery and *only then* 3) disconnect the ESL? Good video, BTW. Thank you.
What kind of socket is the one u used for the steering colum bolts
CASlots Need 12 mm torx key(female) and 13 mm socket !
Where are you located and how do i contact you?
Where is your shop?
NO fuel pressure and I’m getting a phone issue where it says the TELEcall SYSTEM not working ITLL crank

do u have to program the emulator?
Is it possible for the connector to get disconnected from the ESL. I was working on parking break since then I have this issue. My problem I can't send car to u as I'm in Ireland 😂. Bit lucky I'm in unlock posistion
No there is no way it will be disconnected if no work was done under the steering column. it could be a coincidence that it failed at your shop. you can send me the ignition switch and key and i will program an emulator and ship it back ready to plug in.
I have a 98? C. LK320 and I lost the key? If I send you the Ignition and all that can you do the? The emulator with it and program all that how much would it run
Contact me at mustafajafarh@gmail.com with details , also send me a picture of the key style you had from google.
Does it still shows the "take your key" error message after installing the emulator?
Hello how do I contact you to order an emulator? I have changed the motor once before and it has just afailed again.
Is it normal to have this problem and windows or sunroof dont open or close (steering not locked) ? Thanks! 🙌
If the ignition turns on ( have lights on cluster ) then it is not ESL
Hello guy great video my car is doing that how can I get you to fix it please respond thanks
Contact me by email mustafajafarh@gmail.com
@@MuLife okay thanks
How can I contact you?
My w209 does the same thing. No lights on dash, no interior low beams no nothing. Hoping i just need to replace the battery.
Great Video! I recently had my wheels locked, had to give the steering wheel a pretty good jiggle to unlock the wheels. After that I completely lost that mechanical sound when I insert my key. Car still starts up, no problems. just lost the sound... is this still a ESL problem? and will my car eventually not start?
Glad you could get it going for now. Yes it will fail again eventually, best to have it replaced before it fails. You can contact me at mustafajafarh@gmail.com
How long does it take you turn around time if I send you my equipment? What do I need to send you? Just key and esl ? Or do you need that part also The key goes in
1 business day turn around, only need key and ignition switch.

@@MuLifehow difficult is it to remove the ignition switch?
Can I program the ESL on a BENZ with a Autel 909 scan tool
No.
i need one for my 2008 e350 what do you need
EIS & Key. Contact details in description
and were can a send the unit and whats the price
@@MuLife
How come the car still doesnt start even if the esl failed in an unlock position.
Very informative video! I have a problem with removing the ESL, the steering is not in a lock position but the bolt is not moving, do you know what may be the problem? If I change the motor in ESL, do the ESL needs to be Re-programed sync with the Key?
The bolt is a 13MM , then you can depress the stud and remove it from the slot. No need to reprogram anything if you are replacing the motor only
Just had this happen to me only way to fix was emulator I had to cut top of old esl and take the inners out to remove the bolt reprogrammed ESI and works good no other way of removing the bolt I could find

Hi Frank , send me details to my email mustafajafarh@gmail.com
Will a bad ESL also cause the vehicles key fob to not be able to lock or unlock doors for some reason?
Rarely ever see that happen.
Your Key fob is probably dead. I had this happen. According to Mercedes an entire key fob can fail from time to time.
