And how did you confirm on it's faulty status? Is it scanner that doesn't light up or something? Might be a bent or broken pin

Hi I have checked the pins they seem fine ( looking back I visited Benz dealership to have a Bluetooth adapter connected Mercedes me which stop working last year I thought the problem was to do with the connected adapter now I know better . ) just hope it’s not the computer that damaged could be a costly repair 🤞

Mine says “link error”. Tried removing the diagnostic fuse in the trunk fuse box but no change.


dealer thinks it may be a communication error with the ECU and the ECU may need to be replaced. I’m taking it in next week

My issue is slightly different as the scanner remains blank with or without fuse , In your case you get a link error message
