W211 E200 2007
New Member *Needs Help* starting issues

I'm facing occasional problems while starting my car. Sometimes my cluster doesn't illuminates when I put turn the key. I have to take it out once or twice. When it illuminates on 2nd step, right before ignition, it takes around 2 to 4 seconds delay to illuminates cluster, after that I can start my car.
Its 2007 model, battery recently replaced.

Quick check, does it do this on both key fobs?

Next check, put a diagnostic device on it and see what codes will pull.

When dealing with EIS issues.... always have a second key on hand. If it does the same thing with both keys then you might be having an issue with the actual electronic ignition switch.
