fault finding errors. car will not speak to diagnostic tools
Recently When a diagnostic tool is connected to my w 209 2003/2004 it will only speak to the engine systems .
It will not connect to the alarm/seat restaint/ insumentpanel/ etc.
It has been suggested by the garage that the ingnition switch is faulty this is about £324 from Mb
I have had a series of odd events over the last few weeks.
Firstly the car would not start . I charged the battery (i suspect I caused this lot to happen as i did not disconnect the battery) when it did start the instrument consul was completely blank. two days later the instrument panel reappeared but showing an seat restraint fault . then it was a nice afternoon and I lowered the hood it would not raise again (on another thread)
Anyone whose mechanical/electrical expertise is current and not based in the 1970's got any ideas ? (ps all spellings are dyslexic and my own)

if you are using SDS an getting errors, double-click on the error and you'll get steps to help you diagnose the problem. These problems do wound like "EZS" (EIS) issues.
