Car won't start
Recently serviced my transmission. I took the conductor plate out to clean my valve body. Upon putting it back and filling with fluid my car won't crank. It also won't shift gears. Tried to unplug battery to flash computer but no luck. Have icarsoft scanner for Mercedes v3. ?!???!

What is your iCarsoft telling you...??
I think you may have a chance for quick success with a proper ECU reset... but first scan this vehicle to hear what it has to say
BTW: "no crank".... check your main battery is not discharged below 11V.

Thanks for heads up about battery. And because I can't move it in or out of any gear while the keys in. Under icarsoft a ton of faults set off. I went to do the trans adaptation and it sounded like it was moving around to them all fine but I will run all the codes again and list them off

"The icarsoft tons of faults" are there to help you, don't ignore all of them... most but not all
A combination of these faults may help you understand why you're stuck with "no crank", if that is still the case.
The Ignition switch + Transmission + ECU + Cluster all checkup on each other's coding to help prevent stollen parts from being sold. A cottage industry has grown around virginizing worthy junkyard parts.

It's saying all 4 of my speed sensors are throwing a codand srs malfunction
I adapted the the transmission/ecm but my battery died I finally got it to crank but not enough juice. Will try again shortly. While sitting with key at position 2 my steering wheel is moving on its own here and there. Car is on 4 drive up jacks.

Sounds like you're almost there: car now wants to crank, no major codes in powertrain, ignition
A happy Sat. then ✌️

G,
Always use clean DC power supply or equivalent at minimum 15 amps when scanning the car with scan tool.
Low voltage is bad ( can produce error codes) for the electronics and more so when you try to do adaptation.
