Hello everyone. I am new to this great hangout. Well I have the dreaded 97 E300d steering wheel lock. I have tried cleaning ign. Sw. With contact cleaner. Lubed with graphite steering wheel jiggle vibration to key and other methods no joy. What do you guys think about the esl emulators for the steering wheel locks that are supposed to unlock it. Before I try the drilling technique. Is there any other neat tricks ? Thanks All

 

I have 1998 E320 with bad EIS and locked ESL problem. Instead of towing the car to the dealership and paying a lot of money, i got a working EIS with a KEY and a ECU from 99 e320 Donor car. Now, i have to unlock/destroy the ESL on 98 model. Would anyone please tell me how to do it? If i need to drill and destroy it, please let me know where exactly to drill. Please send a DYI to Denis.Scales@gmail.com. Thank you!

 

Does anyone have an experience with ESL resetter sold on ebay?

Hi , I was wondering if I could get instruction to unlocking the steering wheel.

I am putting in my key, and the car is acknowledging the key in the ignition, but I can't turn the key to unlock the steering. Is there a bypass , or other?

I ask this because I believe I can get the key to turn if I could unlock steering. I think the key is not turning because when I originally switched off the car, the car never recognized that I had shifted it into "park" , and as such , it is treating it as though the shift is not in "park" .

I can't move the shift from "park" .

Thanks

Hi , were you successful in unlocking the steering lock? I have a 2008 C200 Merc. The steering lock is not releasing, I need any help or suggesstions to sort it out without paying high costs to the Merc dealer. Thanks. My email is: sanjeevrvmohan@gmail.com
If anyone has solutions or Jonssen's PDF, please forward it to me. Thanks again.

 

I need this PDF too. Please help me out and send it to me if you have it. I messed up and pulled the ignition switch before turning the key to the 1 position. My steering is locked and I can't get the ignition to slide in all the way. Car is a C140 99'

 

Hello jonssen,
I am thankful for any help please I am a struggling single father, I am losing my job all because my car locked up completely unexpectedly. I am positive it is the anti theft pin locking up in my 1997 e320 (w210 chassis), as confirmed by a MB specialist.
If you could please send me the video and PDF or advice anything is greatly appreciated.
I know this is possible I've heard of multiple people disarming the lock. I just need to know the proper instructions. Also your way is the only I know without destroying my vehicle.
Thanks and again any and all advice is appreciated. Also if anyone else has this information please send it to me.
Thanks

Hi guys,

I have a euro version E300 1996. I found a problem before i installed my switch.

The original switch is the green one in the sleeve, I have removed the whole assembly in Position 1. In Pic 1 you'll see the position that the wheel lock insert is in and it matches the Pins position in Pic 2.

In the Pic 2 " Green Switch" , u can see a pin that goes through the switch in the wheel lock insert in a vertical position, so that must be postion 1.

In Pic 3, you can see what holds the pin in that position.... the exit port of the switch or the switch itself.

Pic 4 shows you how I've assembled the new switch, but the PIN is not in the same position to enter the wheel lock insert. The switch's exit port came that way as if it was in Position 0. The key however stayed in Position 1 and I didnt mess with it.

How can i change or correct it, so that it matches the wheel lock insert?

 

can you email me the PDF PLEASE

in the post you quoted, you do see that the guy is asking for a private message,
don't you? if you've read the thread, you'll see this mentioned several times
and will understand why he may no longer be responding to posts in this thread.
