Desperately Need Programming in Phoenix…!

I just had everything reset a week ago then my guy went ghost!

Before it was running rough and then it was stuck in only 1st gear; car has now shut off and will only move the bendix when starting, but no cranking!

After 10 minutes in SD Connect it was able to start and idle fine. I even drive it like 20 miles maybe!

Please respond, I’ve got a little bit of cash but want to get on the road again! Currently at Arrowhead Mercedes, but I can tow to which ever dealership you want!

Does my car built in March of 1998 have Wifi?

This was an ad; some offense.

Don't be ignorant! You come here asking for help and then get snarky when pointed to the best help you can get. Good luck!

@BenzNinja sorry I referred you to him.

Have you contacted BenzNinja? You said or implied you had SD Connect or access to it. If not, BenzNinja has a rental system you can use. He will connect remotely and diagnose your car. If repairs are needed to any of the software or programming, he can probably do it. That's why I said to reach out to him.

Search on this forum and you will find many people highly endorse him.

oh no, sorry…. I personally don’t have an SD Connect but somrbody in town had one, and he’s been ignoring me for close to two weeks!

I’ll by my own eventually when I get paid, but I’ve been trying to get back to work and school; no luck yet.
