I have a W168 A160 which cannot start.
My dashboard doesnt show any sign of P,R,N,D could it be the gear selector module fault ?

Hi

Did u recently replace/remove your battery ?

Did u scan it with a scanner and showing any codes ?

Try turn your steering full from left to right and right to left and then center and restart your car see if the BAS/ESP is gone.

For not showing gear indicator it may be the gear selector switch or the auto trans.

I change both to make sure everything goes ok. Does your auto trans working good before ? if yes try just change the gear selector switch 1st.

Just my 2 cents

F on Dash car won't start

HI All,
I have a similar problem my A160 will not start first thing in the morning by 10am it is OK and starts fine. I have been told it is the ECU which I have had replaced and the tranmission yet it drive's great, I have also been told it is the battery. When it does not start there is an F on the dash. Any idea???

It can't be all three it has to be one or the other
