Best forum thread ever… 2015 GL550, and same thing. Just stopped working, but could hear it clicking. A couple good swift pounds on it, and she’s good as new. Thanks to whomever discovered that one!!

Mine just stopped working again, same thing as a about a couple years ago. I did not pound on it to fix it, although I did pound it, just did not help. It was something really simple, maybe disconnect the batter? I am trying to recall, does anyone have any other suggestions?

Push upward on the bottom of the wheel with your knees and continue pushing upward while lowering it. This is the only thing that reliably works for me. And it doesn't involve aggravated assault of your steering wheel.

I tried this on my 2013-e350 and it worked!, my question now is how do I get the software update ?

Glad to see this is still working for people lol. Any dealer can do the software update, it's part of the "repair" process in the bulletin that is mentioned above for this concern. Usually if you mention to your service advisor that you are aware of some sort of bulletin for a fix for it, they can have the tech do the update. If you are out of warranty there will probably be a cost involved, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I did the same. Fixed mine in less than 10 secs. Thanks JP!
