I will show you how I removed the ESL and ignition switch from the dash of a 2007 C230 Sport Mercedes without removing the steering wheel and the column. This is a very common problem with these cars. If your key is NOT turning in the ignition switch most likely it is the ignition switch or the electronic steering lock (ESL). In my case it was the ESL only.

Your welcome, sorry for the late reply. Hope this was helpful!

@AustinTXRealEstatebyFelix 2 года назад

Do you have to program the new ignition switch to the steering lock? I changed the ignition switch on my c230 but still the key won't turn.

@jeffmccain9204 Год назад

Yes you do.

not posible to get the esl off the colum removing just the ping without the drilling?? thnks!!

@drivingthebenz802 3 года назад

I think this is the only way to remove it unless you remove the steering column.

Would a e430 be the same way I'm having the exact same problem ordered new 300$ fob and nuthing not even a lil bit won't turn or anything

@drivingthebenz802 Год назад

Hey Steve I would suspect that you have the same problem. Hope this gets you going again 🙏

@alejanzar 3 года назад

Hi great video, what kind of tool do you used to get the pin out? How did you remove it? I watched a lot videos but I think they were newest benz, are totally different to a 04, 07 C240 and is not that easy to get the ESL, even the steering column out, your video help me a lot thx.

@drivingthebenz802 3 года назад

Thank you very much for your response and feedback! I actually used a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel to cut the pins :) It requires laying on your back and looking up at the ignition lock on the steering column. I put some tin foil down on the floor of the car to protect the carpet from sparks as you cut. It doesn't take too long to cut them :)

@reannabrechbiel3903 Год назад

my local dealership is saying I need to tow it in to get this all done? how do you go about reprogramming it?

@drivingthebenz802 Год назад

It came with a reprogramming key. Hope this helps!

@jeffmccain9204 Год назад

Many people seen on RU-vid can synchronize all 3 components if you remove them and send them in or get lucky with a locksmith, only 1 I know is in Dallas.

@johnwaller3531 4 года назад

I'm looking at a E500 with this issue. The key won't turn and the steering lock does not engage. Nice to know where to start looking.

@drivingthebenz802 4 года назад

Hope this helps you. Let me know if you have further questions :)

@nicolasavalosorellana269 3 года назад

Hello there,hope u are well, i had the same problem with a C180 and was looking how to take this F*** pin off, I bought the whole starting kit to replace it, do you know if once the whole system be changed i will have to sync something? it should works?

@drivingthebenz802 3 года назад

I would only be guessing, but I would think if you bought the part from Mercedes it would be synced to your car. Sorry for the delay and hope your up and running. Stay safe!

@nicolasavalosorellana269 3 года назад

@@drivingthebenz802 thanks for your answer, I already change the whole start kit and works perfectly 👍

No it's not that bad at all! Fun actually! There was no way I was going to pull the steering wheel off and do it that way. I'm Glad you got it working 👍. Did yours come with the temporary programming key?

@nicolasavalosorellana269 3 года назад

@@drivingthebenz802 no, actually i bought the kit by eBay and it came with the proper key

@jasonhitch660 3 года назад

I need to take the steering lock off but I certainly don’t want to tear it open like you did.

@drivingthebenz802 3 года назад

Well when you know your going to replace it, this is a way faster method then going the other route.

@RSmith1982 2 года назад

@@drivingthebenz802 what's the other route?

@drivingthebenz802 4 года назад

I bought my ESL at the dealership. You'll need proof that your the owner. Hope this helps!

@alejanzar 3 года назад

Hi how much did you pay for the ESL at the dealership?

@jeffmccain9204 Год назад

Why not tell everyone that it didn't work? The new esl has to be programmed to the ignition and key.

@encinobalboa 8 месяцев назад

Wasted a sh*t ton of money on what should have been a simple ESL fix. Get a ESL from the junkyard. Move your control board over to the new lock. Done.

@jeffmccain9204 Год назад

Absolutely no way I'm going to replace it. Bypass it with an emulator altogether so you never get stranded out again.

@drivingthebenz802 Год назад

That will work too! 👍
