This is happening to the models that use that system from around those years, EVERYONE report to NHTSA and to MBUSA, they have to fix this for free or a CLASS action will cost them more
Good day. Did you have to remove just the back of the steering column bolts or did you have to remove the steering wheel then loosen front bolts and then release back. Mine is in the unlock position and I would like to take it out. Thank you.
You're lucky. The dealership won't do mine, its too old, and I spent two months trying to find somebody in town to do it before I gave up and had it towed home. I HAVE to do it myself.
Yes, you are right. But my solution is that when I on the key, I knock where the motor is and the motor comes back to life.I have done three vehicles this way.
@@jacobsanchez2860 knocking the ESL module (the thingie he pulled out) sometimes makes the motor work for just a few more times, so you can get it to unlock and then disassemble it. if it refuses then you have to get destructive
Can I pull the module out if the steering wheel is still locked? I’m going to try to hit the steering wheel lock module to try to get it to unlock. Does the key have to be in the ignition?
dear how did you remove these four pins? did you hit and they fallen into inner of this block or you pulled them towards outside. I literally got stuck on this stage
@@giancarlorubenlongobardi9719 yes, you can pull off the white cover with brushes from the motor and replace it, the motor itself is quite indestructible
