1995 C280 anti Theft

Hello All,
I have a 1995 C280 and the anti theft system is messed up. New Battery. No power to starter solenoid. No crank. I know there is a procedure to lock all the doors, and lock and unlock the trunk or something like that, to disarm it, but my electric door lock system is also kaput. Can someone tell me how to disable or bypass the anti theft system? Thank You,

You're talking about jumping one of the SAM ignition relay... you need to study and get good at understanding the cryptic schematic for this chassis.

okay you are seeking a ready made solution... look at the forum section for your chassis to see if what you want is available.
If anything, you'll find a good deal of self-help specifically tied to your car.

Thanks CaliBenzDriver,
Yes, I am trying to learn how to bypass the anti theft system, and or where the solenoid lives to be able to jump it.
