When I tune into your video on UA-cam I come away learning a new Idea to keep the car hood open without a stick. VicGrab was a great idea. You are the only one on all the car videos I watch that did this. You Rock. God gave a great brain.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

REALLY appreciate that Robert, and it's strange you you said that because I taught that same trick on our latest video doing brakes, THANKS AGAIN!

[If the car falls off the jack while you're under it]..."you don't have to worry about the starter." 😄

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

LOLOL!!!

[@evenhand7743]

that's why i like the old stuff.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Me too!!

[@blessingsibanda6062]

Does sam module cause no start even if you make the car crank

[@lajoskormany7754]

Jump the starter synod that should make the engine crank.

[@northerner1374]

Hahahaha Tap Tao Tap! I remember doing that in an old Nissan to get it going! That sucks on that sam module thingy. Hopefully you will sort it timmy! Safety first buddy, should have chocked them wheels also 👍🏻

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

We use to use that trick on ALL cars, LOL. It's rear wheel drive, so I wasn't worried about moving.

[@howardschwartz1538]

Tim, check the ignition switch wiring first, before replacing the starter!

[@only1nefamily995]

This is the comment I was looking for , I’m dealing with the same issue in my 2002 C320 I just bought a starter waiting on mechanic now

[@bobklimek7388]

You would think it's the dealerships responsibility since it's the device was put in by them. But we all know they won't do anything. Once again great video 👍

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Agreed!

[@prashanshan7125]

Hi where is part 2 of this..?

[@rh8611]

Good job troubleshooting and diagnosing. Sounds expensive to fix

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

We thought it would, but the whole module is around $160

[@cdman78564]

These batteries have to be fully charge or the car will click BMW are same way hook jumpers make sure battery is up to max charge. Its some sort of starter motor protection..

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

We did hook up a jumper in the video.

[@cdman78564]

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos I've had jump boxes not work and cables from another vehicle work. Plus the other vehicle would provide a good ground.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

@@cdman78564 Oh, I have had my fair share of crappy jump boxes!!!

[@r.adamssr.5012]

Alternator and the starter

[@alexdelaluz3915]

Is there no part 2?

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Sorry, no there isn't. We found out tat the company shut the car off for non payment.

[@lajoskormany7754]

Starter, solenoid's bad.

[@egenerationegeneration]

Tap the starter my starter was good but my batter y was going out my car did stall on freeway I tried jump starting it with my jumppack didn't work then I tap the starter then jump start it it start right up almost cost me a tow home an money gone in pocket got new battery havnt change starter since I'm a do it yourself an. I'm getting better I'm doing struts bushings diagnosing fixing almost everything on my car now my plan is to go to school for auto repair

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Cool that you're going to school, BUT, only go if you enjoy this field because if you don't enjoy it, you won't last in it. I've seen so many people fail because of that, me; I LOVE IT!

[@TheDracfink]

sounds like the best way to fix that is to sell it lol

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

He only had it for 90 days, LOL. So I guess your answer applies to the dealer that sold it to him 🤣

[@TheDracfink]

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos yep

[@cdoutland]

Looks like some kind of immobilizer.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

We'll see what happens, soon!

[@cdoutland]

Ok lol

[@victorvillasana3409]

Maybe the car dealer he did business with can help.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

The first person he called from that dealer said everything looked good from his end (looking on the computer). We'll know soon enough.

[@blessingsibanda6062]

I have c240 V6 2005 its no start no crank but if you bypass Sam module it cranks over no start could be it be the sam module

[@briman113]

👍

[@phareztrinimand]

Oh aftermarket crap 😭😭😭

[@goodfellowsgarage]

Seen rental cars with that tracking/disabling technology -- didn't know used car dealers did the same thing these days. Given it's a Benz, and outdated one at that, he better have a fat wallet -- LOL

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

I KNOW!!
