You’re a lifesaver! I owe you. I have a 2008 Mercedes C300. It wouldn’t start. It wasn’t a battery or alternator issue so I thought it was the starter until I seen this video. It was the steering lock issue because when I put the key in I didn’t hear the zip noise like you mention, so I did what you said by putting the key in and turning the steering wheel back & forth and that un jam the steering lock & that fix the issue. My car started right up. Thank you my friend I was preparing to take it to the shop. Where can I send you at least $20 for your help?
@@MercedesBenzTechs Exactly. Every time I park the car I make sure the steering wheel is straight before I turn the key to off position. I haven't had this issue since then
@@RAFAELGONZALEZ-kc2ynwhat does that even mean? “And you own a Mercedes” I own one also It was a gift lol doesn’t equate to being financially free geesh
Wow, my Mercedes c300 has been sitting on my driveway for 6months because I thought it was the ESL. After looking at this video it make me take a look at my 2yr old battery. And yes, it was no good. I replaced it and now the car turns on. Smh!!! Man!! I feel dumb. But thanks you really help me out. All other videos tell you it’s the ESL, but you explain what it does if you have a good ESL or not, that really helped me out too. Thank again!
I have a 2009 Mercedes c300it won't start the light is not come on on the dash battery good start good when the lights come on on the dash it start right up
My husband just bought a 2010 Mercedes S550V with 34k miles and three keys, and hasn't owned it for only 2 weeks and i have driven it to work and returned to him when suddenly it wouldn't start or anything. I drove it four one week from dealership and everyone is charging $600-$1000 to do a diagnostic test on it to see what the issue is but all of the lights on the dash are all on but no start. This video has helped tremendously. Thanks so much
My 2010 C220 wouldn't turn over despite the battery being fully charged. I tried the trick of moving the steering wheel as suggested in the video and the steering lock disengaged. The engine jumped into life when I turned the key. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks so much for sharing your videos and helping others ! Your videos help solve my issues after dealing with a very dishonest auto repair shop !! Have an ml 350 , 2005 with 109 k miles ! We been having bad storms and did not drive the car for 5 days ! And the car was dead ! Dead dead no crank no start ! After taking it to a shop ! The guy claims I need a new fuel pump at the cost of $1000 parts and labor ! Had it towed back to my apartment as I knew that was not the problem! Was able to get it star and run ! But unfortunately the repair shop had stollen parts from the car ! The break light switch and even the connector and harness are gone
I have a 1999 C230 Kompressor, W202. The tip start worked intermittently, sometimes requiring several tries to start the car. I tried a number of things including new relay, new starter and solenoid, new fuse box, new battery and removing the key assembly to have it checked over with the keys. All to no avail. Finally a light dawned and I realized that it is an infrared key. I cleaned the tip of the key with glass cleaner and I wiped the inside of the ignition latch with q-tips. Problem resolved. Hope this helps.
hello tee bee i have the same problem i start the car but the starter keep turning over and the car won't start and the starter keep turning over i think its the keys because i tried the other key and the car started
my mercedes w203 car crank but no start. Fuel pump ok.but no functioning ignition and fueling .i tried several times.no start.starter motor ok.what will be the possible issue .please advise me. Thanks
Hey So You seem to be really getting issues Fixed so hopefully hopefully you can help me figure out Why my {06_E350 Mercedes Benz} will Not start im fortunate enough to have a friend with the computer car scanner& it read somethings we reset those codes but Nothing major . I have a brand new battery the kind that Mercedes calls for and there's nothing wrong with the alternator we checked&its great 👍now the starters connecting wires were pretty loose we tighten those up. & inside my car the lights ,headlights, heater/ac&radio are All working, Except my car still will Not turn over Just Won't Start 🥺🧐 Can you Please Help🙏 me
Thanks for the information. I have a 16 c300 that won’t start. However mine is recognizing it’s on park. I have many mechanics that looked at it and went through it even the local dealership. As a matter of fact the Mercedes dealership also requested a technician from Germany to look at it and with out any luck. I had to tow the vehicle out and still trying to find out what’s wrong.
I don’t understand why Mercedes can’t solve arising issues with their vehicles🙄 I seems to me they just Love whacking people with over charges!! That’s why I’m going back to Lexus!!
I have a 2008 C300 that wouldn't start because of the steering lock failure. The battery was okay, no lights on dash. To avoid a tow, I released the steering wheel level adjuster (underneath the steering column), and slammed the steering wheel up and down. This released the lock and I was able to start it. Drove it to a shop for repair. This is only a temporary solution to avoid a tow.
Great video, so detailed, thank you. Mine sounds like the steering lock BUT my ? is the starter relay not being good can it cause the same symptoms as those of the steering lock?
Thanks for the video saved me a lot of money. Even though it all the instruments worked it was the battery. Would of had to tow it just so they can tell me what you did. Thanks much appreciated
Hi. I have a quick question regarding the video. What if when you try to start your car up and the relay works fine (I can definitely hear the click.The starter is spinning, but the engine won’t start. Any additional info is appreciated
I have a c250 2012 drove it about a block then it completely shut off. It unlocks and the radio works but I cannot move it out of gear. The key turns to 4 but won’t turn on. ( last few weeks I noticed it kinda got stuck when pressing the gas) like it would take longer to respond. Any thoughts?
Great video. I got my car to start wiggling my steering wheel and inserting the key and it released the steer lock. Life saver I literally canceled my tow truck right when It got there lol
My 2013 c300 was taking a few tries to start but it would start. Couple days ago it happened again but there was no noise when I inserted the key. Car seemed dead. Waited few minutes and it started. This morning I shook the steering wheel before inserting the key and it started right away. When I left work I turned the key, but didn't move the steering wheel, it didn't Start. Repeated the process this time including moving the steering wheel and it started. Stopped at store, left the car , came back, moved the steering wheel , inserted the key and it started right away. Thanks man!!!! But one question. Why is this happening?
Hi thank you for the information, my car wont start in the morning but after some time it starts..i have a c200..Is it the battery or its something to do with programming of the starter
Hi there! I have a 2008 Mercedes c350 4matic. Car will not start at a all. The key fob seems to work fine with unlocking/locking of doors and with illumination lights showing up but only in the middle tachometer where mileage is located. So battery seems to be okay. Also I'm able turn the key in the Ignition all the way to the right but with no response whatsoever unfortunately. Any advice or solutions you may know of? Really appreciate it! 🙏🏾
Folks, when you turn the key, and the engine starts to turn over, then stops, it could be as simple as corrosion on the connectors in the electronic ignition switch module. just remove the EIS and disassemble and clean all the contacts and reassemble.
David Jacobs when I put my key in and turn it doesn’t even crank. The battery is good for sure it’s been tested and the radio and everything else works fine.
David Jacobs Thanks for the info David it’s very much appreciated. I’m just not sure how I would clean the electronic ignition switch, any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Helpful video 👍 I have an issue with a 2012 GLK350. The battery and alternator were tested and are working as expected, but engine will not turn over. I can hear the clicking noise when attempting to start the car but it will not turn over. It's the same with a jump from another battery. This statement a couple months ago. Sometimes it will work after 5 for 6 attempts. Does this seem to be a starter issue?
@@MercedesBenzTechs Thank you. The battery terminal connections are secure. This problem exists even when attempting to start the engine with the good battery and jumper cables. Can this be due to a faulty starter relay?
Jim Gar my steering wheel locked for the first time got a jump from another car the car starts but have a voltage of 11 while running do you think that could cause the lock position thanks
@@cease19811 I've heard from some that replacing the battery was a temporary fix. Eventually their steering locked and had to get fixed. In my case my steering eventually locked again and replacing the battery didn't fix it. Had to replace the ESL motor.
Your video is really great, especially 4th option, I want to explain my situation, I had a battery problem and I have changed the battery, but what I did with battery, it was 82AH (actual) and I replaced with 80AH (correct me if it the good idea to do so or not) why because I didn't find 82AH battery in market. Well, now after replacing the battery the first start was good, but next morning my car is not starting at all, everything happing same as you explaining in your video, can open doors, lights are on, car lock sounds are there but not starting - please help me - Thanks
Thanks for the prompt response - well, last Thursday car I went office with car in the morning and afternoon I went for lunch by drive everything was okay, but when I back from restaurant and try to start my car was not happening, so I call my friend for help and he suggest me to do jumper, so I did and car started. Therefore, I look for battery replacement as that battery was even old, I have changed the battery yesterday evening, and back to home. Today morning also it was started without any noise and I went to the office but after around an hour I want to go out and try to start the car but :( everything looks fine to me, just not starting, I am afraid If goto mechanic they will charge like anything :(
M10vir Kemosabe you need to check your alternator or if you have power draw from a bad module or motor (window motor, seat motor etc) charge your battery again and try to start if after charging the battery the car starts than you have to check what’s killing the battery if it doesn’t start after fully charging the battery you need to check the starter.
Hi mate e I situation , I don’t have a bad key and I don’t have a dead battery and still can’t lock or unlock using the key remote ? Plus no ignition and nothing Any suggestion plz ?
That's the problem with newer Mercedes. The company unnecessarily made it complicated so that the owner will simple sell it if problems like this begins!!!
They're german. Everything is unnecessarily complicated, but it somehow works. I had an old brit teacher in med school who told us to "stop being german" when we tried to find complicated solutions for simple problems.
Hi I have a 2011 E350 cupe when i put the key in the ignition it turns but ignition lights don't come on then I have to play with it taking the key out and putting back in 3-4 sometimes 7-9 times before the lights turn on and it starts I changed batteries on both ignition keys still the same problem? Can some one help please ?
Thanks for the good information, but it the trouble shooting didn't include mine . I just replaced the auxiliary small battery on my 2006, e350 Mercedes-Benz. When I tried to start the car, there no light on dashboard. Therefore the key doesn't go in and the car doesn't start. Can you please let me know what is going on? Thank you.

Do you think I have this problem ? How do I fix . Need help . Do you think it’s this issues ?
Hi. Great channel. I have a e 270 cdi 2005 model. Battery is in the boot. The car was working fine. Parked it in the garage. Came back 2 weeks later. Battery was dead. Tried using good quality jumper cables. Car wouldn't start just made a clicking sound, I then took the battery to be charged, its carong power but car still doing the same thing and on the dash it says battery protection mode disabled. Can you please help? Thank you in advance.
This video summarizes how I just diagnosed a 2008 CLS 550 with a no crank no start. First lights and accessories worked. So next went onto battery. Battery was good according to tester. Next I checked on my Scanner for drive authorization and if there were and codes with the EIS and none and drive authorization said yes. You could hear the steering lock disengage when inserting key and no crank in park or neutral. next went out to the sam. no fuse blown and replaced relay... nothing. Next suspicion was either bad SAM or bad starter. I think that is where I deviated from your video... it ended up being a bad starter but what if it was a bad sam??? would you see other things failing? or
also if the vehicle intermittently starts my first suspicion would be corroded wires especially if its after the car is heat soaked. Do mercedes commonly have ground corrosion issues???
My ML320 occasionally (usually at the worst time) won't start. I've studied, checked components, still no definite diagnosis. I think its the starter. Even if the battery shows 12.6 volts a 10 minute jump fires it up. Battery is good. New key helped in the past. Also dealing with transmission leak. Learned a lot about that one, including a diy transmission dipstick...
Hi there! I have a 2014 e63-S and it started having random issues not starting. I’d go out for dinner, go out to the parking lot and car won’t start. But I just drove it, battery is good, key is good. When I try to start it’s like when I push the button it isn’t recognizing that my foot is on the brake. Even when I remove the button and use the physical key the car doesn’t turn over or even try. Like it’s not recognizing I’m trying to start it. Happened to me last week and after trying like 20 times it just randomly started fine. Happened a few more times, and now it won’t start at all no matter how many times I try. I’ve spent hours. Battery is fine, full power, key fob fine etc. I was told maybe brake light switch to cause it to stop from starting. Any ideas? Key turns, the car just doesn’t even try to start. It just goes to position 2 and when I turn it, it turns but nothing happens to the car.
How common are the Mercedes fuses to buy? Do auto parts stores such as Advanced Auto hv them on hand? Also i hv a 2004 Ml350. Put in new starter, it turned over, lasted for a month that way, then wouldn't turn over again. I replaced it with another brand new starter and it wouldn't turn over. Lights on all the lights on the dash but just won't fire up won't even click. if there's any way out of bringing it to my mechanic please let me know, battery fine, fuses I've shifted around to check it seemed okay.
I have a c240 Mercedes 2001 model when fuel falls below half tank lets say to quarter the car stops when driving .It cranks but wont start. I open the fuel tank and there is enough fuel but wont start ,when I top it up with a little fuel it starts again .can some help.
My car was locked for about a month, I went out to start the repair this weekend, reached over and opened the passenger side door because I was hot and suddenly the car came alive and steering unlocked ...It has started every-time since this happened...I have no idea what happened and will probably get rid of this car because not sure when this may happen again.
Hello again, you know what after checking and inspecting my car is it possible that it’s a bad ignition, my car does not have push start, jus a key fob, thanks again
After checking all of that could be crankshaft positing sensor bad it's located between the engine and transmission for the do it yourself it will give a code most time po335
O Jacks I have a new video coming soon with much more trouble shooting and useful information, on this video I didn’t deal with the situation where the engine turns rather than a situation where nothing happens when you get into your car in the morning, on my new Video I talk about both cases, one, when there is no response from engine at all two, when engine turns but does not start, stay tune for the new video. Thanks for watching.
Mercedes Benz Techs hey I have a C230 kompressor it won’t start the lights on the dashboard are on I check my battery it’s good on volts and everything alternator is fine what could be the issue when I cut it on I hear absolutely nothing
Hello I have a 2010 c300. I cant get it to start. I turn the key and nothing. The radio and lights come on. But it won't start. I cant shift the gear out of park either. When i place my key in the ignition the dash says, remove key from ignition. I tried both of my keys and same thing. Battery is also good. Thoughts?
Cat allack steering lock, do you hear the steering lock retract when you put key in? Is steering wheel locked when you try to wiggle it from side to side when key is out of the ignition ? The C300 has a common problem of the steering lock stop working and since it’s part of the drive authorization it will not let you start the car when it’s faulty. About $1,000 give or take, TRP do only authorized shops can replace and programmed. Good luck
Cat allack hey did you ever get it fixed??? I have a c350 and mine is doing the same thing bro! Help me out. If you could text me that’d be great I could pay if what you say works 9105465906
Mercedes Benz Techs my car is doing the exact same thing it won’t start or even turn or click. The radio works and but windows don’t and the dash lights do come on. I was having a cam shaft sensor problem earlier could that be it???
My car is not even letting the radio come on.It was ok when I went to the store but when i came out it didn’t start...had to get it towed...just bought a battery a month ago
Hi my w211 220cdi has this issue no crank no start sometimes especially after a drive..first start will be ok..the problem comes after a 20mins drive.. the key will on the ignition but a further turn wont crank and gets started after a few tries Please suggest a solution
Hey i have a 2005 clk 320 coupe and my key fob indicator light blinks but does not unlock the doors, and will not be recognized by the starter switch/ignition. What should I do? Autozone said battery had 12.5 v (outside of the car and brought into store) I love this vid iv been hunting for proper video to explore troubleshooting but this is the one!! Please help
Hello. I like your style of explaining. Do you have a video of Start Error alert for ML350 2003? The key does what you said it unlocks doors and accessories are ok but it will crank and start for maybe two seconds and then immediately shut down with the “start error alert”. It’s been frigid temps here in CT. I have checked the battery which at gives me 12 volts. If I have a regular multi meter, how do I check with load? Can i move key to accessory position and then check again for voltage drop or is that not considered load? I really appreciate any help The car sits sometimes for a week or two because I drive my truck to work but it’s never been an issue until recent. The model key type is like the switch blade and I understand maybe a transponder issue. I’m a furnace guy not car mechanic however I have some understanding except German engineering is exceptionally complicated. Thanks
Hi, I have a question. I have a 2011 GL450. Car had no prior issues. Twice now it has not opened or started. The first time my husband took it to the mechanic and he changed the battery. Fast forward two months, and we have the same issue. We tried the key fob, it still did not turn the car on. We replaced the battery, etc. Took it back to the mechanic and he checked and said battery is fine, starter is fine, says nothing is wrong with it? What else can it be? Why is this happening?

Hi , i have a 2006 Mercedes B200, 3 days ago i opened the fuse cover to review if a fuse are open due to the wippers are not working... i'm testex all the fuses with a multimeter and i pulled out a couple to test if are good..... all of them are good, but know the car is not working.... the dashboard on, radio, windows powers, but the starter is not activating.... the key open the switch and I move the knob to neutral and nothing..... literal i didn't do noting to damage the car and is not working.... what I can do to find the problem... a technitian scann the car and it said somethink like ... the car is registering a manual transmision instead of an automatic transmision.... any help will be highli appreciated
Okay so I'm having the issue of the key won't turn there's lights and everything so how do I get it in neutral to push it out of the way of the other cars??? Watch the video where it said the little rubber thing on the gear shift would move and you could push a button will this car's leather it's not Rubber and it won't budge so now what do I do?
Hello Mercedes tech Please help I have a Gl450 sometimes it starts quickly and other times it takes several cranks to start (sometimes the cranks sound slow and sometimes good) but it always starts. The battery voltage goes down to 9 volts when starting, so I changed the battery. Same problem so I changed the starter with a refurbished one. And I still have the problem. Any ideas? Thank you
I have 2008 S550 when the car is cold starts and drive no problem after when I’m driving and shutting the car won’t start. After when car warm up there’s a problem. Any idea what can be?? No check engine light But there’s a history code P0336
Your Video was GREAT!!!!. My problem is I had my 2003 E320 Brake Operating Unit replaces & both batteries replaces. 6months later, now I have to jump the battery all the time. Some said It's the SAM Mudule. is that right.
look at the alternator charge voltage while driving (use the "service menu")... it is controlled directly by the main fuel injection computer and uses various sensors across the entire car (temperature, battery sensor, battery control module)
I have an 09 S550. My yellow marker light in the back randomly comes on by itself…my other lights on the light switch that switch between left and right stopped working, but the high beams come on. Key won’t lock or unlock that doors…after I jumped the battery & the key unlocks the doors & cranks, that light is still by itself…kicks on at random times….any feedback as to what is causing this will help….
How you doing? I have a 2007 s550 that sat for a long time Batterys died and would not start. We changed the Batterys still would not start. Changed the starter started for one day. All lights come on no codes come up. Not cranking at all. My mechanic put the key in the on position and jumped the starter and car ran fine but when I turn key off won’t start. So I know it’s not the engine battery or starter. I don’t know what to do next.
Regarding the battery .When the battery doesn't turn over the engine and you've close to 12 volts does that mean you don't have enough cold cranking amps? Would that mean your battery has a dead cell.
Thank you for the video, I have a 2007 S550 i’m very mechanically knowledgeable. I stop by the store to pick up stuff came back turn the keys on lights goes on everything‘s on but the starter would not crank now the 2007 have a fuse box in the right hand side on the left-hand side have a small box with a 40 amp fuse and three fuses I believe those for the starter. My keys is good. I even have a spare keys. I tried when I turn the Keith’s decision four the starter would not turn over I have a brand new battery, i’ll trade my spare key as well. No crank ??? any advice I’ll be much appreciate it. Thank you. Have a great day., 20:15

Usually fuse 52 in your front Sam “start enable” is the fuse. Starter relay is the small rectangle type, usually consigned with a mark “S” underneath the relay (marked on the plug socket itself)
I have a 2005 Mercedes . It runs fine but sometimes the dashboard, ac, radio won’t turn on when I start it up. But it drives. Once I drive around for a while and turn it off and back on everything works again.

W209 320 situation: woke up one morning tried to drive my car, I pressed unlock on the key fob and car wouldn't unlock. None of the buttons worked.

Hello there great video! I have a question... My merc slk200 year 2002 sometimes it won't start....so basiclly you put the key in ,turn it,light of dashboard come on ...but engine won't start.....the only solution i found if you leave it for about 1-2 hours it will start ....thanks in advance for your time
Got same issue with one w221 S400 hybrid ! And this happen random. Checked and replaced both battery aux and main battery....but the issue persist. It seems to be a bug on safety electronic.
If it starts fine cold but won’t start when engine warm this is often the crank position sensor located on the bell housing failing. It can also cause poor idle and stalling once engine warmed up

Wow, my Mercedes c300 has been sitting on my driveway for 6months because I thought it was the ESL. After looking at this video it make me take a look at my 2yr old battery. And yes, it was no good. I replaced it and now the car turns on. Smh!!! Man!! I feel dumb. But thanks you really help me out. All other videos tell you it’s the ESL, but you explain what it does if you have a good ESL or not, that really helped me out too. Thank again!
I have a 2009 Mercedes c300it won't start the light is not come on on the dash battery good start good when the lights come on on the dash it start right up
How can i call you
I'm thinking maybe it could be the. Ignition
My husband just bought a 2010 Mercedes S550V with 34k miles and three keys, and hasn't owned it for only 2 weeks and i have driven it to work and returned to him when suddenly it wouldn't start or anything. I drove it four one week from dealership and everyone is charging $600-$1000 to do a diagnostic test on it to see what the issue is but all of the lights on the dash are all on but no start. This video has helped tremendously. Thanks so much
You saved me alot this morning it all has to do with the steer lock . Just after some few twist and turns it worked thank you so much 😊
Mee too
My 2010 C220 wouldn't turn over despite the battery being fully charged. I tried the trick of moving the steering wheel as suggested in the video and the steering lock disengaged. The engine jumped into life when I turned the key. Thanks for the tip!
Big appreciation to you guys out there making these videos. They really help.
Thank you! Great to get some good feedback
Thanks so much for sharing your videos and helping others ! Your videos help solve my issues after dealing with a very dishonest auto repair shop !! Have an ml 350 , 2005 with 109 k miles ! We been having bad storms and did not drive the car for 5 days ! And the car was dead ! Dead dead no crank no start ! After taking it to a shop ! The guy claims I need a new fuel pump at the cost of $1000 parts and labor ! Had it towed back to my apartment as I knew that was not the problem! Was able to get it star and run ! But unfortunately the repair shop had stollen parts from the car ! The break light switch and even the connector and harness are gone
That’s not good, sorry for your experience, I wish we could help you here in GA…
I have a 1999 C230 Kompressor, W202. The tip start worked intermittently, sometimes requiring several tries to start the car. I tried a number of things including new relay, new starter and solenoid, new fuse box, new battery and removing the key assembly to have it checked over with the keys. All to no avail. Finally a light dawned and I realized that it is an infrared key. I cleaned the tip of the key with glass cleaner and I wiped the inside of the ignition latch with q-tips. Problem resolved. Hope this helps.
hello tee bee i have the same problem i start the car but the starter keep turning over and the car won't start and the starter keep turning over i think its the keys because i tried the other key and the car started

Hey So You seem to be really getting issues Fixed so hopefully hopefully you can help me figure out Why my
{06_E350 Mercedes Benz} will Not start im fortunate enough to have a friend with the computer car scanner& it read somethings we reset those codes but Nothing major . I have a brand new battery the kind that Mercedes calls for and there's nothing wrong with the alternator we checked&its great 👍now the starters connecting wires were pretty loose we tighten those up. & inside my car the lights ,headlights, heater/ac&radio are All working, Except my car still will Not
turn over Just Won't Start 🥺🧐 Can you Please Help🙏 me
Thanks for the information. I have a 16 c300 that won’t start. However mine is recognizing it’s on park. I have many mechanics that looked at it and went through it even the local dealership. As a matter of fact the Mercedes dealership also requested a technician from Germany to look at it and with out any luck. I had to tow the vehicle out and still trying to find out what’s wrong.
I don’t understand why Mercedes can’t solve arising issues with their vehicles🙄 I seems to me they just Love whacking people with over charges!! That’s why I’m going back to Lexus!!
I have a 2008 C300 that wouldn't start because of the steering lock failure. The battery was okay, no lights on dash. To avoid a tow, I released the steering wheel level adjuster (underneath the steering column), and slammed the steering wheel up and down. This released the lock and I was able to start it. Drove it to a shop for repair. This is only a temporary solution to avoid a tow.
Did you found the problem? I have a same problem
This video is genius!! I just fixed my car using your instructions… Thank you
Great video, so detailed, thank you. Mine sounds like the steering lock BUT my ? is the starter relay not being good can it cause the same symptoms as those of the steering lock?
Thanks for the video saved me a lot of money. Even though it all the instruments worked it was the battery. Would of had to tow it just so they can tell me what you did. Thanks much appreciated
Great information. Thanks

Hi. I have a quick question regarding the video. What if when you try to start your car up and the relay works fine (I can definitely hear the click.The starter is spinning, but the engine won’t start. Any additional info is appreciated
Have same problem what did u do
I have the same problem my car is actually stuck in Neutral and when I hooked my battery up the fan come on
@@sadieeyb8140 replace under hood driver side fuse box with Sam or try first fuse box if nothing changed replace Sam
I have a c250 2012 drove it about a block then it completely shut off. It unlocks and the radio works but I cannot move it out of gear. The key turns to 4 but won’t turn on. ( last few weeks I noticed it kinda got stuck when pressing the gas) like it would take longer to respond. Any thoughts?
Great video. I got my car to start wiggling my steering wheel and inserting the key and it released the steer lock. Life saver I literally canceled my tow truck right when It got there lol
Francis Meza I’m assuming you have C300..(or e350 coup) you will need steering lock soon.
Mercedes Benz Techs I actually have a 2012 c250
Francis Meza hopefully it won’t happen again, keep your steering wheel straight before taking the key out.
My 2013 c300 was taking a few tries to start but it would start. Couple days ago it happened again but there was no noise when I inserted the key. Car seemed dead. Waited few minutes and it started. This morning I shook the steering wheel before inserting the key and it started right away. When I left work I turned the key, but didn't move the steering wheel, it didn't Start. Repeated the process this time including moving the steering wheel and it started. Stopped at store, left the car , came back, moved the steering wheel , inserted the key and it started right away. Thanks man!!!!
But one question. Why is this happening?
Hi thank you for the information, my car wont start in the morning but after some time it starts..i have a c200..Is it the battery or its something to do with programming of the starter
Hi there! I have a 2008 Mercedes c350 4matic. Car will not start at a
all. The key fob seems to work fine with unlocking/locking of doors and with illumination lights showing up but only in the middle tachometer where mileage is located. So battery seems to be okay. Also I'm able turn the key in the Ignition all the way to the right but with no response whatsoever unfortunately. Any advice or solutions you may know of? Really appreciate it! 🙏🏾
Same problem for me
Same here what was your issue same car as mine
@@edtixx5299 any fix ?
Did you get it fixed ?
Folks, when you turn the key, and the engine starts to turn over, then stops,
it could be as simple as corrosion on the connectors in the electronic ignition switch module.
just remove the EIS and disassemble and clean all the contacts and reassemble.
David Jacobs when I put my key in and turn it doesn’t even crank. The battery is good for sure it’s been tested and the radio and everything else works fine.
@@DjsWorldTV therefore, it could be EIS. so try cleaning the electronic contacts and see what happens.
David Jacobs Thanks for the info David it’s very much appreciated. I’m just not sure how I would clean the electronic ignition switch, any advice will be greatly appreciated.
@@DjsWorldTV its the thing that you put your key into. you need to remove the radio/climate control in order to remove the EIS.
David Jacobs Nice explanation thanks for the advice.
Helpful video 👍
I have an issue with a 2012 GLK350. The battery and alternator were tested and are working as expected, but engine will not turn over. I can hear the clicking noise when attempting to start the car but it will not turn over. It's the same with a jump from another battery.
This statement a couple months ago. Sometimes it will work after 5 for 6 attempts. Does this seem to be a starter issue?
Can be a starter but can also be a loose contact, check the terminals on the battery, make sure they are tight..
@@MercedesBenzTechs
Thank you. The battery terminal connections are secure. This problem exists even when attempting to start the engine with the good battery and jumper cables.
Can this be due to a faulty starter relay?
Thank you for this video it helped me determine what the problem was with my parents car
Thank you! Had a steering wheel lock just now. Thought it was my battery.
Jim Gar my steering wheel locked for the first time got a jump from another car the car starts but have a voltage of 11 while running do you think that could cause the lock position thanks
@@cease19811 I've heard from some that replacing the battery was a temporary fix. Eventually their steering locked and had to get fixed. In my case my steering eventually locked again and replacing the battery didn't fix it. Had to replace the ESL motor.
I'm having the same problem..so I shouldn't buy the battery and just go to shop?
@@BCZAR1 Waste of time for me with the battery. I had to replace the motor to fix it permanently.
@@cease19811 pqp
Your video is really great, especially 4th option, I want to explain my situation, I had a battery problem and I have changed the battery, but what I did with battery, it was 82AH (actual) and I replaced with 80AH (correct me if it the good idea to do so or not) why because I didn't find 82AH battery in market. Well, now after replacing the battery the first start was good, but next morning my car is not starting at all, everything happing same as you explaining in your video, can open doors, lights are on, car lock sounds are there but not starting - please help me - Thanks
Sorry forget to mentioned - it is SLK350 2012
M10vir Kemosabe what year and model is your car and why did you have to replace battery at first?
Thanks for the prompt response - well, last Thursday car I went office with car in the morning and afternoon I went for lunch by drive everything was okay, but when I back from restaurant and try to start my car was not happening, so I call my friend for help and he suggest me to do jumper, so I did and car started. Therefore, I look for battery replacement as that battery was even old, I have changed the battery yesterday evening, and back to home. Today morning also it was started without any noise and I went to the office but after around an hour I want to go out and try to start the car but :( everything looks fine to me, just not starting, I am afraid If goto mechanic they will charge like anything :(
M10vir Kemosabe you need to check your alternator or if you have power draw from a bad module or motor (window motor, seat motor etc) charge your battery again and try to start if after charging the battery the car starts than you have to check what’s killing the battery if it doesn’t start after fully charging the battery you need to check the starter.
great, I will follow your steps tomorrow. Just a question "is there any problem to replace car battery from 82ah with 80ah?
You’re the best! I have a bad key. Should’ve started there. My spare key worked. Thank you
Hi mate e
I situation ,
I don’t have a bad key and I don’t have a dead battery and still can’t lock or unlock using the key remote ?

That's the problem with newer Mercedes. The company unnecessarily made it complicated so that the owner will simple sell it if problems like this begins!!!
They're german. Everything is unnecessarily complicated, but it somehow works. I had an old brit teacher in med school who told us to "stop being german" when we tried to find complicated solutions for simple problems.

Very good info sir.... can you tell me the location of starter and fuse for 2010 GLK350???
Starter is on the back of the engine on the passenger side about half way down, you will have to get to it from the bottom of the car.
I have a 2011 4matic c300 sport Mercedes Car cut off one day, started back within 20 minutes,
Drove it for a whole day , the next day after car cut off completely. And wouldn’t start for days 4 days and after 4days it started back up
Got the starter replaced, engine light came on for 02 sensor exhaust.
Drove it for 12 hrs, car cut off, and now will not start . What do you think the problem may be ? Bad starter again? Or . The car will not turn over . Only lights come on, inside and when you lock the doors outside lights . No dash lights . Do you think I have this problem ? How do I fix . Need help .
Do you think it’s this issues ?

Hi. Great channel. I have a e 270 cdi 2005 model. Battery is in the boot. The car was working fine. Parked it in the garage. Came back 2 weeks later. Battery was dead. Tried using good quality jumper cables. Car wouldn't start just made a clicking sound, I then took the battery to be charged, its carong power but car still doing the same thing and on the dash it says battery protection mode disabled. Can you please help? Thank you in advance.
This video summarizes how I just diagnosed a 2008 CLS 550 with a no crank no start. First lights and accessories worked. So next went onto battery. Battery was good according to tester. Next I checked on my Scanner for drive authorization and if there were and codes with the EIS and none and drive authorization said yes. You could hear the steering lock disengage when inserting key and no crank in park or neutral. next went out to the sam. no fuse blown and replaced relay... nothing. Next suspicion was either bad SAM or bad starter. I think that is where I deviated from your video... it ended up being a bad starter but what if it was a bad sam??? would you see other things failing?
or
also if the vehicle intermittently starts my first suspicion would be corroded wires especially if its after the car is heat soaked. Do mercedes commonly have ground corrosion issues???
If the wheel is locked, try push the shifter forward then try to turn wheel. Works for my ML320
My ML320 occasionally (usually at the worst time) won't start. I've studied, checked components, still no definite diagnosis. I think its the starter. Even if the battery shows 12.6 volts a 10 minute jump fires it up. Battery is good. New key helped in the past. Also dealing with transmission leak. Learned a lot about that one, including a diy transmission dipstick...

Hi there! I have a 2014 e63-S and it started having random issues not starting. I’d go out for dinner, go out to the parking lot and car won’t start. But I just drove it, battery is good, key is good. When I try to start it’s like when I push the button it isn’t recognizing that my foot is on the brake. Even when I remove the button and use the physical key the car doesn’t turn over or even try. Like it’s not recognizing I’m trying to start it. Happened to me last week and after trying like 20 times it just randomly started fine. Happened a few more times, and now it won’t start at all no matter how many times I try. I’ve spent hours. Battery is fine, full power, key fob fine etc. I was told maybe brake light switch to cause it to stop from starting. Any ideas? Key turns, the car just doesn’t even try to start. It just goes to position 2 and when I turn it, it turns but nothing happens to the car.
How common are the Mercedes fuses to buy? Do auto parts stores such as Advanced Auto hv them on hand?
Also i hv a 2004 Ml350. Put in new starter, it turned over, lasted for a month that way, then wouldn't turn over again. I replaced it with another brand new starter and it wouldn't turn over. Lights on all the lights on the dash but just won't fire up won't even click.
if there's any way out of bringing it to my mechanic please let me know, battery fine, fuses I've shifted around to check it seemed okay.
I detached the connector from the battery source and it reseted the whole system and it turned on afterward, you can try this also.

Hello again, you know what after checking and inspecting my car is it possible that it’s a bad ignition, my car does not have push start, jus a key fob, thanks again
After checking all of that could be crankshaft positing sensor bad it's located between the engine and transmission for the do it yourself it will give a code most time po335

Hello
I have a 2010 c300.
I cant get it to start. I turn the key and nothing. The radio and lights come on. But it won't start.
I cant shift the gear out of park either.
When i place my key in the ignition the dash says, remove key from ignition.
I tried both of my keys and same thing.
Battery is also good.
Thoughts?
Cat allack steering lock, do you hear the steering lock retract when you put key in? Is steering wheel locked when you try to wiggle it from side to side when key is out of the ignition ? The C300 has a common problem of the steering lock stop working and since it’s part of the drive authorization it will not let you start the car when it’s faulty. About $1,000 give or take, TRP do only authorized shops can replace and programmed. Good luck
Mercedes Benz Techs thanks for responding. The wheel is locked, didnt hear clicking. :😏
Cat allack hey did you ever get it fixed??? I have a c350 and mine is doing the same thing bro! Help me out. If you could text me that’d be great I could pay if what you say works 9105465906

Hey i have a 2005 clk 320 coupe and my key fob indicator light blinks but does not unlock the doors, and will not be recognized by the starter switch/ignition. What should I do? Autozone said battery had 12.5 v (outside of the car and brought into store) I love this vid iv been hunting for proper video to explore troubleshooting but this is the one!! Please help
Hello. I like your style of explaining. Do you have a video of Start Error alert for ML350 2003? The key does what you said it unlocks doors and accessories are ok but it will crank and start for maybe two seconds and then immediately shut down with the “start error alert”. It’s been frigid temps here in CT. I have checked the battery which at gives me 12 volts. If I have a regular multi meter, how do I check with load? Can i move key to accessory position and then check again for voltage drop or is that not considered load? I really appreciate any help The car sits sometimes for a week or two because I drive my truck to work but it’s never been an issue until recent. The model key type is like the switch blade and I understand maybe a transponder issue. I’m a furnace guy not car mechanic however I have some understanding except German engineering is exceptionally complicated. Thanks

Hello Mercedes tech
Please help
I have a Gl450 sometimes it starts quickly and other times it takes several cranks to start (sometimes the cranks sound slow and sometimes good) but it always starts. The battery voltage goes down to 9 volts when starting, so I changed the battery. Same problem so I changed the starter with a refurbished one. And I still have the problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you
I have 2008 S550 when the car is cold starts and drive no problem after when I’m driving and shutting the car won’t start. After when car warm up there’s a problem. Any idea what can be??
No check engine light
But there’s a history code P0336
Your Video was GREAT!!!!. My problem is I had my 2003 E320 Brake Operating Unit replaces & both batteries replaces. 6months later, now I have to jump the battery all the time. Some said It's the SAM Mudule. is that right.
Did u figure what was up with your 2003 e330? Just curious because I did the same thing you did and am having similar problems
look at the alternator charge voltage while driving (use the "service menu")... it is controlled directly by the main fuel injection computer and uses various sensors across the entire car (temperature, battery sensor, battery control module)
I have an 09 S550. My yellow marker light in the back randomly comes on by itself…my other lights on the light switch that switch between left and right stopped working, but the high beams come on. Key won’t lock or unlock that doors…after I jumped the battery & the key unlocks the doors & cranks, that light is still by itself…kicks on at random times….any feedback as to what is causing this will help….
Sounds like several different problems, try changing the battery on the fob also, sounds like maybe your combination switch might be bad
How you doing? I have a 2007 s550 that sat for a long time Batterys died and would not start. We changed the Batterys still would not start. Changed the starter started for one day. All lights come on no codes come up. Not cranking at all. My mechanic put the key in the on position and jumped the starter and car ran fine but when I turn key off won’t start. So I know it’s not the engine battery or starter. I don’t know what to do next.
will you do a video on how to change battery cables
Regarding the battery .When the battery doesn't turn over the engine and you've close to 12 volts does that mean you don't have enough cold cranking amps? Would that mean your battery has a dead cell.
Look if your starter get power when you turn the key
Thank you Sir I have just benefited from your tutorial please I'm grateful
Thank you for the video, I have a 2007 S550 i’m very mechanically knowledgeable. I stop by the store to pick up stuff came back turn the keys on lights goes on everything‘s on but the starter would not crank now the 2007 have a fuse box in the right hand side on the left-hand side have a small box with a 40 amp fuse and three fuses I believe those for the starter. My keys is good. I even have a spare keys. I tried when I turn the Keith’s decision four the starter would not turn over I have a brand new battery, i’ll trade my spare key as well. No crank ??? any advice I’ll be much appreciate it. Thank you. Have a great day., 20:15

I replaced the ignition & key on my 1998 S320 Benz, I tried the to start it, it cranked but it wont start, A wring flashes on odometer "error start"?
Where on that fuse diagram does it show which is your starter relay? My just shows the relay, not lableled.
Usually fuse 52 in your front Sam “start enable” is the fuse. Starter relay is the small rectangle type, usually consigned with a mark “S” underneath the relay (marked on the plug socket itself)
I have a 2005 Mercedes . It runs fine but sometimes the dashboard, ac, radio won’t turn on when I start it up. But it drives. Once I drive around for a while and turn it off and back on everything works again.
Man!! you are a very knowledgeable tech. Super complete info.
My 2010 B200 all of the sudden went dead no lights no start nothing at all. Could be the battery or the relay as you suggest?
Watch my most recent CZcams’s, I go into more details into diag process. Thanks for watching mate.

I have a 2011 glk350. Steering isn’t locked. Got new battery and starter. I don’t hear that zip noise though. My key only work when I’m close on the vehicle. Dash just says take key from ignition. Radio comes on. Interior lights and headlights come on when I hit the alarm. But no start at all.
Sounds like bad steering lock.
Can you please tell me what I need to do to get a key fob for the alarm system so my Mercedes 1996 w210 chassis when I received the car from my friend the we have the keys we have the ignition key we have the door key the ignition was changed but they do not have the the alarm code key thing would a universal fob work on the Mercedes if it's programmed through the car
Thanks for the video. I have a 2007-S550 and every day after 2-3 secs it cranks and starts. Sometimes i have to try a couple of times. I also smell fuel inside/outside. Think the fuel pump needs to be changed? Thanks again!
I own 2010 slk 300. My car has had no crank issue for 2 yrs now. This happens very seldom. I haven't able to determine to why it does this periodically. I have taken it to Mercedes technician and the problem doesn't appear. If you have any comments to why I have this issue I would appreciate.
I enter my key and the dash doesn’t light up and the ignition is jammed. It unlocks the door and locks, all lights come on. It doesn’t turn at all. I have a 2006 cls 500
I have a s550 2011 that died in my drive way..found out my starter died..I replaced the starter and battery...but still wont turn over..I did noticed my original key says remove key when inserted and turned to position 1. But my backup key when inserted doesnt say that when turned.. I do notice a click noise in the fuse box under the hood driver side.( not starter) I did test new starter before installing.. what could this be? No cranking sound, lights come on, steering wheel isn't locked or locking, turns like the one in this video.. please help
What about the crank case sensor and or the alternator regulator.
Ugh!!! I need help my steering wheel is unlocked seems like my battery has enough juice I’m wondering if its the starter I did replace the alternator a few weeks ago but the car does still die sometimes because I have music hooked up... or when I get to 4th key position nothing happens I hear the ding ding noise
I am having trouble finding a fuse chart on the internet for the s430 2000 Mercedes, can you please let me know where to download one. TY
I have a 2004 sl500 and it started i moved it to work on the suspension issue. The back baytery was dead and wouldnt hold a charge so i replaced it and checked tge front is fine. Now the car wont start, everything lights up and i here a click but wont turnover. I have never had an issue with the starter which i woild think it would before going bad...is there anything it could be?
Try to start it at N.. or check if you get trigger at the starter when you try to start it
W209 320 situation: woke up one morning tried to drive my car, I pressed unlock on the key fob and car wouldn't unlock. None of the buttons worked. Took the metal turn key out the fob and unlocked the driver door, put it in the ignition and it wouldn't turn. No interior lights work or headlights after checking headlight switch. Smh
Edit1: just tried the steering wheel method, turned the wheel while turning the fob in the ignition and nothing happened. I'll try changing the fob battery.

Hello there great video!
I have a question... My merc slk200 year 2002 sometimes it won't start....so basiclly you put the key in ,turn it,light of dashboard come on ...but engine won't start.....the only solution i found if you leave it for about 1-2 hours it will start ....thanks in advance for your time
Got same issue with one w221 S400 hybrid ! And this happen random. Checked and replaced both battery aux and main battery....but the issue persist. It seems to be a bug on safety electronic.
If it starts fine cold but won’t start when engine warm this is often the crank position sensor located on the bell housing failing. It can also cause poor idle and stalling once engine warmed up
Same here with C220
