EIS/ESL/ECU failure
Hi, all,
I had a problem with the EIS/ESL or ECU(SRS) on my C180K W203 2004 model. The key wouldn't turn when I insert the key, I tried the spare key doesn't work either. The key is able to unlock the doors, just not able to turn in the ignition. The ESL doesn't respond when I inserted the key, however, it will lock the steering column when I remove the key (I did manually turn the ESL motor to unlock the steering column, and when I remove the key it locks the steering again
).
It happens when I was trying to fix the SRS problem on the car, and I removed the SRS ECU from the car. The problem (key not able to turn) did not happen immediately until I drove the car for 5 days after the SRS ECU removed.
Does anyone had any suggestions what shall I do next? I really don't want send the car to MB workshop cause the hour rate is very high in this country. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for your prompt reply, I tried Autel AutoLink AL619 to connect to the car, but since the ignition is not switched on, I can't build up the communication to the car.
