this is literally the best video for this problem. ive dealt with this on a few cars and when i need to double check on a step i come back to this video
I have a 2008 Mercedes Benz C300, I tried to start the car and it said “take your key from ignition “ I went to a Mercedes dealership and they said they are going to charge me $800 to fix it. It is too much for me. I want to know is it okay if I only change the ignition switch? Will my car work perfectly then or I have to change steering wheel luck as well? I actually don’t need to luck the steering wheel, if I don’t change it will it be a problem? Thank you for your time and guidance!
Omg I finally found a video of what I needed!!! I will not be doing this myself , due to the fact I have a warranty, but I’m just happy I came across this video. I must ask, how does this problem even occur??? Like what causes this ?
It is caused by turning the steering wheel after removing the key. For example, when getting out of the car, you hold onto the steering wheel, the latch locks the steering wheel, but the tensioned steering wheel does not allow the latch to be unlocked. There's even a counter that counts the wrong unlocks, and after a few failed unlocks the steering wheel lock locks up and has to be fitted and a new one programmed. It is possible that you have inadvertently caused the fault yourself :-)
had this on e250 esl went luckey it was off so it was easy to replace saves time if goes when not locked new one from main dealers and the green key to go with will need id and docments
I watched these videos and shake my head. Most of them on here do it this way. But there is one I found and I did it his way so I know it works. The guy show you how to do this and he only removed the bottom bolts and loosen the top two bolts to allow the steering wheel to be lowerred just enough to work with your hands. Took me literally 15 minutes to remove everything and about the same time to install it back to original form. THE KEY IS YOUR Steering wheel HAS TO BE UNLOCKED
You are right. However , there are lot of them (just like this video) that the steering lock is in locked position . So it’s easier to drop the whole steering column and do all the work 👍🏽
@@davidsaunders7118 what video are you looking for? If you’re looking for removing the esl without dropping the whole steering wheel and steering column. Right here But your esl or steering wheel must be in Unlocked position czcams.com/video/VFEK3eQUE_0/video.htmlsi=YG4vMOItnj0KWpea

I am having this issue but my key fob keeps getting stuck and hard as too come out but now that I finally got it out it won’t go back in and the brake abs esc inoperative comes on & then steering wheel lock malfunction inoperative comes on but I drove too the store turn car off too get out then the key got stuck and then the car turned off & then wouldn’t turn on at all I’m thinking the steering lock & ignition switch went bad how can I fix that
The worm gear motor is what goes bad. You can buy one for as cheap as $10. Replace the motor in the ESL module, you just removed and dont need to reprogram anything. Much easier.
But with all the work you have done then the motor goes bad again. In some people , they pay labor rate for that. I program esl emulator , I have plenty of customers that went to replacing just the motor and keep going bad in less than 3-6 months . The emulator has very low chance to go bad
I need help on a 2002 Mercedes’ Benz c32 amg had a guy that ordered a new ESL elv emulator and programmed it to the car. Steering wheel is not locked. Keys is new and is programmed with eis. Can you let me know what else will be wrong that won’t let my car turn on?
Your Emulator Just Hangs It Doesnt Bolt Up To Where The Old ESL Was Placed? Also You Got The Air Bag Malfunction Light On Even With Removing The Ground From The Battery? Thanks
Yes, my small emulator just hang anywhere/ zip tie it or wherever you wanted to place it. For the reason , some esl doesn’t to come out if it’s in unlocked position . And it’s very concealable . With this particular car, srs light was on because it has a collision on right door. If the air bag malfunction light comes on after the installation, that can be cleared by a good scanner with ABS capability
Please i need a help i have a problem with my mercedes w204 model 2009 the dashboard shows these problems default assisted direction Ebv ESP ABS can u tell me how to solve this? Must I change the ESP system? Any idea thank very much
@@autopurlieu yes it starts normally when i accelerate more than 20km/h the signal of ebv esp abs indisponible then the steering wheel becomes rigid but the power of the vehicle remains normal
I didn't see in the video where you removed the hood latch cable from the panel under the steering wheel and I'm having some trouble with that. Any idea if there is a video on that floating around?
I’m so confused. I swapped batteries and nothing. I have power to all the lights, power windows/chairs but I get that same message. My car was literally working fine, left the door open and I’m guessing I killed the battery. New battery hasn’t started it either, all the fuses and relays are good I checked the OBD scanner, I get p0607 control module performance. I’m confused because I didn’t have that code before
did the same exact repair yesterday on mine glk350. I noticed on your video and my car also, when taking corners, steering wheel won't center it self and I manually have to turn it back to center it. I noticed your car was doing the same thing. Any sugestions?
Did you mean with the power steering ? Power steering works. It was just the steering wheel was a bit off at first but I have to reinstall it and make it center
Correct, power steering. I notice you had to turn the power steering manually or at least assist because it wasn’t returning back to center which supposed to. My car start having the very same issue after the repair.
Hi bro You are very very God, can you please tell me were and what's the cheapest simulator for my 1999 430 clk and how would I get everything programed vro I'm broke down in a small town and definitely need your help 😣
Hi, the emulator needs to be programmed to your car. I do that service if you need help. You can message me on Fb “Auto Purlieu” czcams.com/video/fGUNQwI7okc/video.html
Are you Great video, what type of camera set up? Do you have to get these great videos? When I’m working on my car, I like to make my own videos, but I have a hard time with the camera angle.
Hey everyone please I need a clear explanation here please, I ordered the Esl module for my car, but they say I have to send the old key to them for programming, please how does that work
I can provide that service . You must send me your key fob and EIS (electronic ignition switch) in order to program the ESL emulator specific to your car. My service includes the emulator . You can message me on FB “Auto Purlieu” czcams.com/users/shorts510eteory5U?si=oNo7-dvyxl2gYc7Y
You could. But that just fixed the mechanical part of ESL, but once it stopped connecting to (electronically ) to the EIS. That controls the mechanical part , it will be the same scenario
Good morning sir! I came across this video as my car just did this yesterday. Where can I get the emulator? And if ever how do I get it programmed as Im up here in Toronto. Thanks!
What if the wheel is not locked how much of this do you have to do. On a 2012 gl450. Can you unplug it with out taking DAZN apart and steering wheel off.
Whoever will do the programming to the emulator (most likely a locksmith) . Let them order the emulator , and they will do the rest . It’s more work if you get the wrong one then you will be back and forth with the locksmith . To program an emulator , it needs your current working key fob and the electronic ignition switch (eis) to get it done right . What year and model is your Benz?
Update:eBay has one for the w204 I sent the guy my key and esl abd hes programming it from Texas and shipping it back that’s how I got my emulator guys !
@@lewisdavis8640 yes , I saw that one. That’s great . I have 1 subscriber here done that way. But didn’t get to programmed right and now they are back and forth sending and mailing the eis. Find a local locksmith, it should be that same process and not a a lot of price difference . And it’s local , easy access
@@agoodneighborautorepair2176 the emulator was made and programmed and orders by a friend of a friend. That was when I was working on this car awhile back. Now I can make and program the emulator now. I will need the eis and the working key to get it done. Message me on FB if you like order 1
The part is $400 for my GLK350. But the dealership would not sell me one with the programming key. It had to be tied to a service order, $2000 USD repair. But I am going to try another dealership, if they will not sell me one I will just go emulator route. My ESL is starting to lock up randomly. I can get it to unlock by banging on the steering wheel. If its unlocked I can remove it easy enough without taking the column out.
Let me know if you want me to program you an ESL emulator. Yes, that’s the average price on that repair. Even they give you just the ESL part,,you will need to program it still. The esl must be same program and sync in with the Eis and the key fob . Downside of getting the OEM ESL, it will again . It’s about when it’s gonna happen again . Getting stranded sucks
Hi, I have 2008 mercedes benz c300 and i have this problem too,i want to know If I change just ignition switch my car starts up, because it costs me too much to replace both.thank you 🙏🏻
If you think it’s your esl is defect, replacing the ignition switch will not fix it. You ah e to replace the ESL or bypass it with ESL emulator . It’s like having an alternator problem then replacing the battery will not fix it . Either way, replacing the ignition switch will need programming aswell. Are you in the US? I can make and program you an ESL emulator specific to your car. Message me on FB “Auto Purlieu” You have to do the work of removing the parts and installing it . Or find a mechanic to do the install and removal.
Hello where can I buy the emulator and get the key programmed to it my esl is not stuck in the locked position I was able to just tap on the steering column to get it started to take it to my shop
I can get you the emulator and I can program it for your car. I can also make you an extra key fob (programmed) Find me on FB “Auto Purlieu” , message me or at 413 353 4363
I’m having this same problem I have a 2014 mb c250 and the same thing is happening everything works but won’t crank stupid mercedez don’t want to sell me the part because of course they can’t sell it to the public I’m like idk what do yo at this point.
Awesome video !!!! Can you use the old key and ignition box after adding the emulator. Or do you need a new key and ignition along with the emulator to get programmed together. Can you tell me the cost of programming all or whatever is needed. And if I have to buy a new key and ignition box. Thank you so much.
I just ordered it from a friend of a friend. I don’t have a programmer that capable of doing Benz cars (at that time) I just installed this and did all the mechanical installation part. Same old key and eis needed to program the emulator
@@HispanicWeedMan I don’t remember if I mention in my video that before removing that piece , you should’ve put a line marks on both ends so it should go in the same way again . So now, if you look at the shaft it’s not fully geared . If you look closer at the gear shaft, there are 4 flat surfaces (almost at 12 , 3 , 6 and 9 o’clock )(not exactly at those points) They must align at the female side (where it goes in) because the female side has flat surfaces aswell . I hope it helps
excellent video my friend, thank you for taking the time and showing the details. Now the question: where did you get the bypass esl i have a job to do on a 2008 C300 having the same issue, i can get the car to start after moving the steering wheel up and down making it knock on the column, and then it works..... i want to take the esl out and put a bypass plug and play just like yours, I've seen some emulators that need to be program, to do this you plugged in the bypass and a new key right, no need to program anything ?? I'm kind of lost , thank you for the response ahead of time
I just ordered it from a friend of a friend. I don’t have a programmer that capable of doing Benz cars I just installed this and did all the mechanical installation part. I believe you have the same problem. Just eliminate it and you won’t have that problem again
The early chassis use the plug & play type emulators. The 204, 207 and the 212 chassis use this type and it has to be programmed. This can be done by a qualified person with the proper equipment on the car or the EIS (ignition swtich) and the key can be sent out to get the emulator programmed. The specific one he is installing can be purchased though the mail for around $120 incuding the emulator, shipping and programming.
hello, what was a symptoms? I got one that when put key into ignition it does nothing except message" remove key" , I can not start or turn ignition ON
That’s a pretty good symptom. When you insert the key, you should hear a noise unlocking in the steering . If not, it’s stuck in lock position. And your key fob should be able to lock and unlock the car, except to start it. You will need to do the same process to remove the ESL . If you need Assistance on ESL emulator . I can make you one and program to your car . Find me on Facebook “Auto Purlieu” if you need help.
@@the2120company you have to listen if the ESL “electronic ignition lock” clicks means it locks and unlocks . If it does. And still there’s a message in dash “remove key” it could be it too but it’s more on the electronic part. It must be tested separately if it’s communicating together
I know that’s pain to put it back. It have line marks before removing them so it will go back in the same spot. However , I noticed that there 1 or 2 tooth of the gear is slight different, like it’s a bit wider the other. And it will only go 1 way into the female part of the column. I hope that helps

Dealer charge from $1600-$2000 depends on location

I went to a Mercedes dealership and they said they are going to charge me $800 to fix it.

Omg I finally found a video of what I needed!!! I will not be doing this myself , due to the fact I have a warranty, but I’m just happy I came across this video. I must ask, how does this problem even occur??? Like what causes this ?
It’s a common problem on its parts. I’m surprised it wasn’t a recall
It's the motor that retracts the pin from steering lock fails
@@mkd3351 so it’s just randomly? Or is it caused by something?
Mr legend
Where do we get that part? Plz
It is caused by turning the steering wheel after removing the key. For example, when getting out of the car, you hold onto the steering wheel, the latch locks the steering wheel, but the tensioned steering wheel does not allow the latch to be unlocked. There's even a counter that counts the wrong unlocks, and after a few failed unlocks the steering wheel lock locks up and has to be fitted and a new one programmed. It is possible that you have inadvertently caused the fault yourself :-)

It’s like having an alternator problem then replacing the battery will not fix it .
Either way, replacing the ignition switch will need programming aswell.
Are you in the US? I can make and program you an ESL emulator specific to your car. Message me on FB “Auto Purlieu”
You have to do the work of removing the parts and installing it . Or find a mechanic to do the install and removal.
Good job
Hello where can I buy the emulator and get the key programmed to it my esl is not stuck in the locked position I was able to just tap on the steering column to get it started to take it to my shop
I can get you the emulator and I can program it for your car. I can also make you an extra key fob (programmed)

Awesome video !!!! Can you use the old key and ignition box after adding the emulator. Or do you need a new key and ignition along with the emulator to get programmed together. Can you tell me the cost of programming all or whatever is needed. And if I have to buy a new key and ignition box. Thank you so much.

Where did you buy the stuff do u have link too them
I got the pre programmed. I have someone locally did it for me. I just remove and installed them
Did you have to program a new key and right with that emulator and how did you do it? Does it cost a lot?
And lock*
I just ordered it from a friend of a friend.
I don’t have a programmer that capable of doing Benz cars (at that time)
I just installed this and did all the mechanical installation part.
Same old key and eis needed to program the emulator
It will be easier for you if you drop the whole steering column assy and let it sit on the seat/your lap
I had to dropped the whole thing for this

Nice po Ang car
Having trouble sliding the steering column back into place any suggestions?
do you mean where the steering U joint at? or where the 4 bolts goes on top?
@@autopurlieu like the shaft at the end of the steering column won’t slide back in
@@HispanicWeedMan I don’t remember if I mention in my video that before removing that piece , you should’ve put a line marks on both ends so it should go in the same way again .
So now, if you look at the shaft it’s not fully geared . If you look closer at the gear shaft, there are 4 flat surfaces (almost at 12 , 3 , 6 and 9 o’clock )(not exactly at those points)
They must align at the female side (where it goes in) because the female side has flat surfaces aswell .
I hope it helps
@@autopurlieu yeah I noticed the flat parts were marked prior so I was able to slide it in with some trial & error. Thanks for the help regardless!
excellent video my friend, thank you for taking the time and showing the details. Now the question:
where did you get the bypass esl i have a job to do on a 2008 C300 having the same issue, i can get the car to start after moving the steering wheel up and down making it knock on the column, and then it works..... i want to take the esl out and put a bypass plug and play just like yours, I've seen some emulators that need to be program, to do this you plugged in the bypass and a new key right, no need to program anything ?? I'm kind of lost , thank you for the response ahead of time
I just ordered it from a friend of a friend.
I don’t have a programmer that capable of doing Benz cars
I just installed this and did all the mechanical installation part.
I believe you have the same problem. Just eliminate it and you won’t have that problem again
@@autopurlieu so just instal an emulator without programming it ? I thought they need to be programmed
@@cravingsunleashed4880 it needs to be programmed.
I was just saying that someone else programmed it to me .
The early chassis use the plug & play type emulators. The 204, 207 and the 212 chassis use this type and it has to be programmed. This can be done by a qualified person with the proper equipment on the car or the EIS (ignition swtich) and the key can be sent out to get the emulator programmed. The specific one he is installing can be purchased though the mail for around $120 incuding the emulator, shipping and programming.
@@intherealworld1188 where ay excuse me??? I need one for my mercedez
hello, what was a symptoms? I got one that when put key into ignition it does nothing except message" remove key" , I can not start or turn ignition ON
That’s a pretty good symptom. When you insert the key, you should hear a noise unlocking in the steering . If not, it’s stuck in lock position.
And your key fob should be able to lock and unlock the car, except to start it.
You will need to do the same process to remove the ESL .
If you need Assistance on ESL emulator . I can make you one and program to your car .
Find me on Facebook “Auto Purlieu” if you need help.
seems like that what I got. I aint got fb thing, but ask somebody and try to contact you.
@@autopurlieu you know what , I can turn it to On and to stat position but nothing happens

@@the2120company you have to listen if the ESL “electronic ignition lock” clicks means it locks and unlocks .
If it does. And still there’s a message in dash “remove key” it could be it too but it’s more on the electronic part. It must be tested separately if it’s communicating together
Anyone have any tips when putting the column back into the steering how to get the gears right so that it slides back in?
I know that’s pain to put it back. It have line marks before removing them so it will go back in the same spot.
However , I noticed that there 1 or 2 tooth of the gear is slight different, like it’s a bit wider the other. And it will only go 1 way into the female part of the column.
I hope that helps
So I think I have messed up the gears on the joint, anyone have any tips. If not any leads on video on how to change the part?
@@OscarHernandez-yx2ye try to carefully file the gears teeth one at a time with the filer
