2001 Mercedes E55 AMG
Exclamation HELP ME PLEASE!!!

I just signed up, because I am having trouble with my 2001 Mercedes E55 AMG. If anyone would be kind enough to help me I would greatly appreciate it. I can give you detailed steps about what I have done and what problem is going on with my car. Thank you guys so much.

1) started car one day and esp,bas, and abs light came on. I proceeded to drive my car, my car would not come out of low gear.
2) I shut the car off to cycle the key and clear the warnings, but when I did my car would not start. It kept blowing a fuse in what I believe they call the K10 relay so I bought a new one and it stopped blowing fuses.
3) Then my shifter would not come out of gear so I replaced and it works just fine now.
4) Now that I have done these things, I try to start my car and all I hear is a clicking sound. The engine will not turn over or anything. Once the key is turned to the start position it just makes a clicking sound then stops.
PLEASE HELP ME

it's not doing anything. When I turn the key all the way to the right all it does is make a clicking sound. Sorry for the confusion.

I checked the starter relay in the K40 Module and the starter relay is good. Do you have any other suggestions?

Clicking in place of cranking when you try to start the car is often an indicator of a dead battery. Try throwing a charger on it for a few hours and see if it will start.

^+1^,

Also, if all fuses & relay in K40 are good, try to see if there is an Electricity goes to fuel pump, if it doesn't, then you may have a bad TCU..!!

If it was the fuel pump it would still be cranking.

Suspect the immobilizer. Mine did this once, and only once. What resolved it was locking the car with the central locking keyfob, and then unlocking it again.

Check the battery ground cable thoroughly.

I asked this, cause if no electrical goes to fuel pump, means there is problem with K40 & SAM module..!!

ZAYED,,
sorry for the late reply, I have been extremely busy. It turns out I have a bad transmission control module. I'm currently waiting on the part to come in and then I may have to have it reprogrammed to my car. Thank you everyone for your help and time.
