Ezs problems

Hi, I have a 1999 s500L w220, yesterday my battery goes down and i thinks the ezs now fault, I recharge the battery to 12,7 volts so now when I put the key into the ezs nothing happened and the key can't open/close the doors, I never had problem with the key or the ezs so the last owner says that he have problems and replace the original ezs and key with an used one, can someone help me? Thanks

You can't replace the key with a used one because they are coded to the car. Once programmed it can't be changed. Either new batteries of new Key. A key is $250 us. Go to a dealer to get it done.

Will the key turn in the ignition switch (EIS)??

(If it was working before the battery change then the battery may still be the issue.)

Read post #4 from our encyclopedia on the opening page of the forum.

Good luck,

Bob

Find someone with start diagnostic and do a scan. it does sound like you key info is lost, seen this happen in old cars like your model. you might have to read the ezs and make new key, or buy another used ezs with key.

even if you bought used ezs with it's key it will not work because you must have ecu with theme, or you can program the old one.

If you are getting parts from a wrecked car you need a matched set of all four parts- key, ignition switch , ecu and shifter . Without swapping all four parts it will not work
