Hello,
I have 52 plate c220 diesel. I’ve had problems with the key turning but not cranking the engine. A breakdown company attended and after Hitting the starter motor several times with a iron bar, he said that the starter motor needed cleaning. However, I feel it may be the immobiliser as the starter doesn’t make a clicking Sound when turning the key. Should it be the eIS how long and how much would a repair cost? It wouldn’t crank again this morning until I made several Attempts, including pointing the key at the rear view mirror and pressing twice – this worked the first time it wouldn’t start!
Regards,
John.

Hello,

My CLK320 1998 car key won’t turn in the Ignition . The Remote central locking won’t work either. Do I need to remove the ECU, EIS and ESL for you to test if it is repairable?

I have a (55,000 mile) 2006 MB S430 with a zero key function. One original key, and one brand new MB factory replacement key. Brand new battery in the car and in the keys. The keys do not lock or unlock anything, or create any activity at all when inserted in the ignition (EIS). Everything worked fine until I went into the garage one summer morning, and just had nothing at all. That was 18 months ago. I’d like to drive the car again in 2018. Do you recognize the symptoms?

my c320 2002 model got a defect eis need quotation and again does it have Eis and ESL ,which one should I sent

Hi i have a 2003 c270 cdi and I keep getting error code stored in the ECU for incorrect CAN message from EIS module. Is that something that can be sorted?

Hi

Hi,
I have 2007 Viano (v350). The key unlocks the steering every time, the dahsboard lights up, all ACC power is on. But moving to IGN, intermittently ignition ligths are NOT turning on, or turning on with delay, and engine would not turn. Taking the key out, reinserting and waiting for a bit before turning to ignition sometimes works and engine would start.
Is this related to the EIS? The key appears ok to me, as steering lock unlocks every time…

Please provide quote if EIS is the culprit.

Regards,
Ivica

Hello. Have a c220 cdi 2000 model. When I put key in flash lights come on and so does the right indicator. Multifunction failing altogether, no hooter, no wipers, no indicators, goes into red ‘steering lock adjust’ but car starts and drive well

Hi,

Having read some of the issues above, mine sounds pretty similar. I have a 2002 C270. My problems are such that my main key has failed altogether, it is only good for locking and unlocking the car. My spare key works and will start the engine but will only start the electronics after a restart a few minutes later once the car is warm.
Is this an EIS problem too?

Thanks,
Ralph

I currently own a 2003 Mercedes c220 having some EIS problems.
When i put the key in it wont turn and no electronics receive power.
The car doors lock and unlock but that’s about it.
Is this something you have the ability to fix?
Can I ship you my EIS and have it flashed and reprogrammed?

Thank you

Need an ignition switch repair

Hi, I have been having problems for about 6 months now and own a 2006 MB C200 auto diesel estate and they are:
Insert key turn the engine which then starts, you then lose all dashboard dials, all steering wheel stalk control (indicators etc) volume controls to the CD player, heater controls, electric mirror controls,central locking, electric Windows,parking censor. The engine runs fine, I then turn the engine off re-insert the key turn engine back on and regain all electrics. This happens possibly once or twice a week. I then swapped over to my spare key and low and behold I have not encountered any failures since. Having spoke and searched You Tube on this issue it has been suggested it could be the EIS module, a local NON MB garage ran a diagnosis and said it was a Terminal 15 fault. The cars battery is in good order. Any ideas please.

hello friend i have a 2003 e320 all the are enabled what can you do for me this is part 2115451008 with 3k91d inside i have the dump

Hi I have an intermittent fault with the start and crank operation of my Merc C220 auto,2009
as I remove the key I dont always get the zip sound as the system shuts down/starts. When I then try to start it again I get not zip sound and I get no ignition lights and the engine will not crank, all the doors open and lock, the steering fails to lockbut no ignition lights or cranking. I have to disconnect the battery for about five minutes and then the key will work, It’s becoming a real pain – can you rectify this?

W203 c220 intermittent dash/wiper/dimmer/starting/ignition unlocking issue. Notice rear fuse board seems OK as does front and ECU. Notice rear wheelRch feels damp. If I send u a diagnostic and eis can you repair? How much? How long?

My ignition switch will not turn on Mercedes 2002 e-320. According to your info, I probably screwed it up when jump starting the car. What do you need me to send you to get re-programmed? And, what will it cost roughly? I should mention that, even though the key won’t turn, the steering wheel is not locked, so something in the eis told the locking pin to release. I can get various replacement ignition switches with key fobs….used ones are really cheap, but can they be reprogrammed to “fit” my VIN?

Hello,

I currently own a 2002 Mercedes c240 having some EIS problems.

Thank you, Corey.

I have an e320 2000. Sent the parts for repair and reprogramed, but the key still won’t turn. Is there a way to install the 3 parts? The battery is fully charged. And a friend of minekeep saying to me to check the power supply.. Where is that and what is it??

I have a Mercedes CLK (W208) and the key is not turning. I’ve been told the Key is OK (emitting IR beam) so could be EIS at fault? Part numbers I have are:
3300.0301
220 545 02 08 Q4

Are you able to help?

Thanks

Hi, Jason!
My w211 doesnt unlock sometimes by pressing the unlocking key. When driving sometimes all the warning lamps in the dashboard goes on and xenon lights restart. One guy diagnosed my car and and told me that eventually i will have to replace EIS. Is it really so? How much would this repair cost and how long should it take?

Hi can you send me prices as my key won’t turn in 2003 c220
Thanks

malSir my Mercedese c220 cdi model 2011 is not getting start.The scanner is showing that there is malfunction in steering lock switch so what can I do for that.

I purchased a 2008 C350 at auction with a light front damage. The car will not start and the remote does not operate the door locks. The steering is locked but the key does turn. The vehicle had a half dead battery for a while. How do I know if it is a key programming issue or an EIS problem or just the steering lock? Do you repair these parts if shipped from USA?

Hi, I have a 2003 vito (115 cdi) I can’t unlock using the remote (main or spare key) and when I put the key in the EIS it simply acts like no key has been inserted, no buzz from steering lock, and won’t allow me to turn the key. This started as an intermittent fault (couple of occasions) and now is permanently stuck like it!

I have checked fuses (that I can find!) and can’t find any problems there, Central locking still works through the centre console. Lights still work ok… I need my van for work HELP!

I can easily remove the EIS module, and more than happy to bring it to you instead of posting to help speed things up!

Can you advise of costs of diagnosis and possible repair costs?

Thanks

I have a 2011 GL 450. The EIS works intermittently the steerin lock never works. Please quote a price on repairing the EIS. Does the inoperative steering lock impact the EIS? What is the typical turn around time for a reconditioned EIS?

My 2008 c180 w204 refused to start. both key and spare key have similar effect.
this intermittant problem; The key turns in the ignition but nothing happens. Locked gear and steering. The battery seems ok because the lights and windows can be run normally using the key, it start after moving with breaks, hand break and some time bonuts etc.,,

Hey I have a 2003 s430 w220 in Canada and when the eis is cold it does not start unless I use a heater to heat the car and have taken the eis out in the past when I was stranded without power so I took the eis and heated it with a blow drier and it worked – what would be the cost and procedure to fix it ?

Hi ,

I have a problem with my Merc C200 kompressor 2003 with the ignition switch. Mechanic told me it is not the key neither locking unit or control unit , but electronic ignition unit.
I can not turn the key on unless i press and hold for a second on “opening ” button of key and than it turns and starts engine. As a results of EIS Failure most electrics in car don ‘t work such as wipers, radio , windows ect. They works if ignition is On, but once engine started they stop.

Is electronic ignition switch repairable and how much would it cost?

Thanks

Simeon
