Michael is an outstanding mechanic! He has done a lot of work on our two Mercedes-Benz vehicles and has been the best mechanic we have used. He is very knowledgeable, honest, has great prices, and is very trustworthy. Highly recommended!
Started my daughters glk350 to move out of the garage. Shut it off and then it wouldn’t start after trying to start again. Had zero idea about the esl issue on Mercedes despite owning 7 of them since 2005. Went to MBWorld to access possible diagnosis and found Michael there. Navigated to his TH-cam. After speaking with my Mercedes dealer, found out they were scheduling out weeks so decided to tackle it myself. With Michael’s Mercedes videos and text communication I was easily able to work my way through the problem. Working with Michael was a great experience. He excels in teaching, communication, pricing and efficiency. I highly recommend Michael and his solution to this problem. I rarely promote or review but Michael is a valuable resource to all Mercedes Benz owners who want to take action to fix their problem. Thank You Michael! 🙏🏻
It was good working with you Brad. I’m glad we got the GLK350 running. If you need anything you have my number.
I can’t say enough good things about Michael, his expertise, attitude, helpfulness and ability to explain things thoroughly!
I had this exact ESL issue with my 2010 C300. I took it to the dealer and was quoted almost $3000 to replace ESL, EIS and reprogram. To add insult to injury, EIS is on back order with no ETA. Dealer told me they had another car there for more than six months waiting for the part!
I promptly brought the car back home and searched TH-cam where I found this video, where Michael walks you step by step through the process of replacing the ESL with his emulator.
I was able to follow instructions, remove the faulty part, overnight the EIS, receive and install the parts in four days at a cost of $350 (including $100 for overnight shipping both ways). Car is up and running just as indicated in the video! Great job Michael and Mercedes Benz Specialist!
Great guy and mechanic! Walked me through the entire removal process for my specific model over the phone!
I can’t thank you enough for the service you provide.
You turned a big repair that requires dealership expertise into a DIY project.
The knowledge and experience that you provide is second to none.
Your willingness to help every question I had was amazing.
Every single response helped tackle an issue I was having removing and replacing.
I can’t forget to mention the fast turn around on reprogramming a new ESL module during a holiday weekend.
Absolutely grateful!
Thank you Kery. It feels great to read comments like yours. Good job saving yourself hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
Absolutely the best! Honest, trustworthy, and quick service. Answered every question I had, and even answered my phone calls!! Walked me through the entire process. Extremely satisfied! We are a shop in San Diego, CA and are so happy we found Michael! We definitely look forward to working with him again! Michael, you were absolutely the best!!!

Excellent service Michael. Had this issue in a 2011 c300. Customer got quoted thousands at MB. Michael got it done at a fraction quick and easy. Customer back to having a life. 💯 highly recommended
Michael provides a fantastic service with great communication! I will be using his services again. As others have stated, I received the ESL emulator within 24 hours of receiving my key and eis and my glk started right up!
I want to give a HUGE shoutout for your services! Sent him my ignition and key and he made everything super easy, great communication and got me my parts back super quick! Also put a new Mercedes logo on my key! Thank you so much!
Sent my ignition and key to Michael…fast service and an awesome job reprogramming the emulator.Thanks Michael!!!
Thank you Michael. You went above and beyond to ensure the service was great and the whole fix was done. I sincerely appreciate your assistance. God bless
So thankful for you! I really thought I’d have to get another car with Mercedes prices. You were so communicative and fast. So glad there’s good trustworthy people in the world because I was def nervous about getting scammed. My car starts and drives like normal now. 🙌🏾
Thank you Taylor! It was good working with you. 👍
@@mercedesbenzspecialist hello everyone. Is there a way to communicate with you through email?

Thanks Bill. It was good working with you.
Great service. Awesome communication during the whole process. I will recommend Michael to anybody with this issue.

We want to thank you for your services. It’s real, it works. Not too expensive in comparison if you do it in PR. Excellent support and customer service. Great communication and coordination to send the parts and received them.
Shout out Michael! I called bro up on Sunday and I had my car up and running up in a few days thanks to him! 100% would trust him to help out again!

Great product and customer service. Excellent communication. Guided my son through every step. Same day turn around with shipping. Great experience!!
Thank you Debbie! You and Dylan did a great job getting this done.
the BEST video on this ESL issue that I have seen. Precise, clear and actually shows and explains what and where bolts and bits are incuding talking you through what an Emulator is, what it does and how it works, THANK YOU!!!!!

@@mercedesbenzspecialist out of interest, would you have any ideas if the bearing at the top of the shaft near the steering wheel spline is replaceable? I tapped the top of the column to ease it onto the UJ at the bottom and the bearing fell apart. WORD OF NOTE: Do NOT hammer down on the steering column - Costly mistake... :(
You’ll have to get a steering column. The entire column. Used on ebay or better yet at a dismantler.
Michael does great work for a very fair price and fast turn around for a lost key fob replacement for my 2010 Mercedes C300.. Thanks again from Ohio.
You bet Ryan. 👍
Michael is the real deal! Not only are his how-to videos the best out there his service is impeccable. Removed the ESL and EIS. Sent it to him. It arrived at his place on Friday and back to mine on Monday! Plugged it back it in and boom! $1800 bucks saved! If I can do it anyone can do it! Make sure you have the right tools, a mirror and a little patience. My estimate. 2 hours to pull the ESL (if unlocked) and 1 hour to put it all back together. Thanks Michael!
Thank you John. It was good working with you.
This company knows there buisness,business, alot of money compared to dealership,great technician.thank you Very much
Hands down, best mechanic!! So thankful I came across your video you explained step by step so clearly. I appreciate you taking my call even when on vacation 🙏 my car is up and running in less than a week. Thank you, brother..highly recommended 👌 💯
Call us at 818-510-3375
Using this video I removed my broken ESL. I mailed my keys and ignition to Michael. He got everything programmed and mailed it back to me same day. Plugged it in and….my car fired right up! Huge relief. Thanks Michael! And a strong recommendation to anyone else with a W204 to get an emulator from Michael (hopefully Before your ESL dies)!
Thanks Ryan, anything you need. You have my number.
This Gentleman is legitimate, honest and trustworthy. His service was quick and worth the money because its guaranteed to work and you will have peace of mind of not getting rip off or possibly not ever seeing your ignition switch returned. Plus if your local, like I was, local drop off was welcomed. Very humble, kind Gentleman. Thank you!
I can’t thank michael enough for programming my new emulator for a 2013 c300. Good guy fast responses and most important great price and fast shipping!
Best how to remove W204 ESL video on TH-cam! Thanks dude!
Awesome service! Turn around was very quick and keeps you updated with everything going on. Needed a little help after install and he was more than willing to talk me through it on the phone. Recommend for sure!!!!
Anytime Bradley. It was good working with you. 👍🏼
Just wanted to say thank you for your service...and going to the extras for me and wanted you tube to know as well...
Micheal saved my ass, I was stressing and didn't want to pay the dealerships rip off fee, messaged him as soon as I found his page and used his service, great communication and rapid fast!
Ran into an ESL issue with my MB C300. Found Michael on Ebay. Was not aware of what I was buying. He contacted me and resolved my issue.
I didn't have time to work on the car so he had a mechanic shop near my area. And got me a great deal all for 700 dollars. MB was charging me 4k to get the job done.
Thanks for all your help Michael
Thanks Mario. I’m glad we got it sorted. 👍
5 star mechanic knows what he’s talking about and very informative and gives advice when needed recommend this video for anyone having a esl problem on their 204 chassis highly satisfied with my new emulator as well definitely recommend emulator definitely look forward in doing more business!!
Great video! Thank you so much. 2 comments, 1, you breezed over the hardest part, removing the yellow connector. There’s a clip that has to be removed from that first.
2, you absolutely do not need that key ring removal tool. I just used 2 picks and grabbed 2 of the little teeth on the ring and spun it.
The yellow connector is hard to get to if you don’t remove the steering wheel. I recommend removing the steering wheel. It’s easier that way.
You’re right about the plastic nut that retains the EIS. You don’t need the removal tool. It’s not on very tight.
Very nice explanation and information
My Guy Michael, very classy very professional and upfront. Took me from point A to B did not even charge until he made sure that this was the issue and even at that point he gave me options. Excellent communication skills and effective I totally recommend 100%.
Thanks Joseph. Anything you need, you have my number.
this worked 100%. very trustworthy i would definitely recommend. life saver
Michael is just awesome. He fixed my ignition switch issue very quickly for very minimal cost($250) that dealership would charge anywhere from $1500-$2000. No regular mechanics could fix it because of programing matter but Michael can. Mercedes has such a reccuring problem with EIS/ESL that I already had an experience with in the past. Watched his videos and directly contacted him which he responded immediately and shipped my part from Texas. He programmed and installed emulator within 20-30 mins upon receipt and shipped parts back on the same day!!
All I had to spend was just about $550 in total including shipping & installation cost for my own mechanic. If anyone has same problem, contact Michael. He will take care of it!! And save $1000 or more. Can't be happier. Thanks again Michael!

@@mercedesbenzspecialist Hi Mike I have a ? I have a 07 E 350 great car but my problem is sometimes when I put my key in the ignition the key would flash red and not turn as if the key is not being read but then I would pull it out put it back in then the key would shine green and start up. Well I went to start it up and the key shined green then I cut the car off took the key out of the ignition put it back in and it shines and flashes red it the key won't turn in the ignition it just flashes red as if the key doesn't belong to that car. Whats your oppion on this situation?
@@biggd9817 I wasn't aware of a green led in original Mercedes keys. Is this an aftermarket key? Without any diagnosing, my guess is that you have a bad key. I would need your ignition switch and key to know for sure what the problem is.
@@mercedesbenzspecialist I dont know if its an aftermarket key fob or not it didnt come with a key for the doors or trunk but can I go on amazon and buy a new aftermarket key and have it programmed buy someone? I talk to Mercedes's and they want damn near 700 bucks for the key and fob and im just a poor man trying to enjoy an expensive car 😂😂😂

Very professional Great guy highly recommend!!!
Thank you Kerby. I’m glad it worked out. 👍
Works like a charm, turn around time was fast. If you have electronic telescopic and tilt wheel, after removing steering wheel and multifunction switch, remove brake pedal and bracket so you'll be able to remove steering column.
Good tip. Another tip: Using the electronic steering column adjustment switch. Make the column as short as possible. If it’s short, you can remove just the acceleration pedal which takes about 1 minute to do. 👍
Yoo great informative video, where and how do you bang on the steering lock from underneath? I can’t seem to be able to see it or fine a good placement to bang on it?
You must remove the kick panel, take a small hammer and get up over the steering column where the ESL is bolted in. You can also take the steering wheel in your hands and bang it back and forth with medium to strong force. This may release the motor gears and you might get another turn out of your steering lock. If it does operate, you'll be able to start the car and move it to a good location or drive it to a shop.
If you do get it to open, don't take the key out of the ignition. Disconnect the negative battery cable, before you remove the key from the ignition. You can turn the car off, just don't remove the key from the ignition. This way, the ESL is in the open position and you won't have to remove the entire steering column. Saves a lot of time.
My friend have this issue. I send him your video. I will ask him what he want to do. Thank you for the video.
Thanks.

Call or text us at 818-510-3375
@mercedesbenzspecialist so the emulator can be zip tie somewhere underneath the steering column? So I can reinstall the steering column until the emulator arrive?
@spicythai2000 You can reinstall the column. Although it maybe easier to install the EIS with the column unfastened.
@mercedesbenzspecialist oh yeah I forgot about that. Thanks.
Thanh you for the work you did for me very happy with it. no scam
Great video! I’m starting to have ESL problems on my 2014 C250. Mine has stopped working in the “unlocked” position so I can still turn my wheel but it doesn’t start. Is it the little motor in the ESL that goes bad?
Yes. The problem starts with the little motor. Then the NEC chip on the circuit board can lock up. When that happens, replacing that motor won’t help.
Replacing that motor works 50% of the time if you do it correctly. The other half are locked chips. Can’t do anything About that. You need an emulator to replace the ESL.
Omg 😳 why I don’t find these video before I pay $1500 for ESL and I don’t if they find something else wrong 😑
I take my car for be fix from warranty craft and I end pay for ESL

Outstanding customer service!!!! Answers phone calls had my steering lock bypassed just got it back and now my car starts, very reasonable price of 250$ dealer wanted 1500$ to fix it
Call us at 818-510-3375
I replaced the lock with an emulator and it worked great. Unfortunately, several months after installing the emulator, the transmission conductor plate failed and had to be replaced. The transmission shop was unable to program the new conductor plate because of the emulator. I ended up having to have a new ESL installed and after the installation, the shop was able to fully program the conductor plate. Fortunately, I know the owner of the Mercedes dealership, so I got the new ESL for their cost and they installed it for free.
That’s good to know. Thanks for your comment. I have factory ESL’s that I can program to your vehicle in case you need to replace your conductor plate. You can always switch back to the more reliable emulator afterwards.
Hi, I have this problem unfortunately I'm in the UK so I can't use you, but if I replace the faulty motor will that need programming to the vehicle? Or can I just replace the motor and keep the original esl without programming?
You can replace the motor. There is a 50/50 chance that it will work again if you put it back together correctly.
The two switches on the circuit board must be in the depressed position before you close it back up and plug it in.
Even then, if your circuit board has the NEC chip locked. It’s still not going to work. It is worth a try.
Is it correct to say, "I replace ESL with an emulator and do the programming exactly as if I replaced the malfunctioned ESL with a new one?" I live outside the USA, which is why I'm seeking your advice.
Mine failed in the unlocked position; is it possible to access the ESL without removing the steering column?
Please any idea the dashboard of my vehicle mercedes w204 model 2009 announced this ebv asp pression des pneus abs non disponible ! Have i change the ESP system?
I smack the bottom of the steering wheel and it worked
Nice. Saved yourself a lot of time and money.
Where at like literally the steering wheel or back behind it somewhere
I have a video that shows you how to attempt to unlock it by moving the steering wheel.

How did you pull the whole steering column out I thought you would have to go through the bottom
There are two types of telescoping steering columns.
The electronic and the manual.
If you have the electronic one. You have three combination switches on the left side of your steering wheel. Turn signal, cruise control, and steering column adjustment. This one does not fit through the dash. It needs to come out through the bottom. Search my videos for that version.
The manually adjustable steering column can fit through the dash.
If you need the esl emulator programmed it can be purchased on our website.

Hello Micheal, I bought the c300 2013 few weeks back, the front screen showing ‘left front malfunction service required’ and the airbag sign is on. What could be the fault?
Although practicing my psychic abilities would be fun, I think it is best to use a scanner that can scan the srs module for the fault code.
This one will work.
amzn.to/4akaKS4
What's it mean when the iCarsoft won't read anything for EZS? It says Link Error, please check 1. If the vehicle is equipped with the electrical control module 2. If the cable is connected correctly 3. If the key is Ignition ON (it is)
I can only get the iCarsoft to read some things, but not all of them. Any ideas?
Does your Mercedes start? If not, there may be a malfunction of the obd2 connections to your EIS.
Is there anything that can be done preemptively to prevent this issue from arising in the first place? Aside from replacing with the emulator before the ESL fails?
No. The esl will fail. The only option is to replace it.
mercedesbenzspecialist.net/shop/ols/products/mercedes-c-class-glk-class-e-class-coupe-slk-class-electronic-emulator
before the ESL is gone problematic, if we put an emulator to that socket, will we need to code it anyways? or will it run since no errors stored?
It needs to be coded. No emulator will work without matching the coding inside your ignition switch and key. We offer this programming service.

where exactly is your shop? If I ever need this service in the future, can I drive to you so you can do this for me?
Whittier, CA. Yes you can. 👍
I'm wanting to have an emulator put in before the steering wheel gets locked and the original ESL fails. Can I just unplug the original and not unstable it and plug it into the emulator after I get the emulator key and ignition switch back from you?
Yes you can.
You must unplug the factory esl when it is in the unlocked position. (Key inserted into EIS)
You must remove the steering wheel and steering column module (this is the module under the steering wheel with the combination switch) to remove the EIS.
th-cam.com/video/CQo6iTOaby4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gdN59jsPWa263P6y
what’s the best way to pull the whole column plus steering wheel out after loosening everything?
In this video, I made the mistake of not removing the steering wheel. This job is much easier if you remove the steering wheel. I recommend that you remove it. If I could edit the video I would... but it can't be edited. Trust me, remove the steering wheel. Much easier to get to the yellow electrical connector inside the Steering Column Module.
I have this issue , but I have a 2011 C300 4matic sports Mercedes Benz what part do I order to fix this issue ?
You need to replace the factory steering lock with an electronic emulator. You could use another factory lock but we don't recommend it. It will fail again inside of 24 months.
We can program the ESL emulator (or factory lock) using your ignition switch and key. Remove the EIS and send it to us along with at least one working key.

Hi I had a mechanic install the emulator. The steering wheel is now not aligned with the wheels. What could cause that and any recommendations on fixing it
During the installation the steering wheel must be removed. Your mechanic did not put it back in the same position.
It needs to be removed and adjusted.

What if the steering wheel isn’t locked ? But windows don’t work and nothing happens when I turn key ? Is it still the ESL ??
The steering lock can fail in the unlocked position. That’s less common, but it does happen.
If your steering wheel doesn’t lock when you remove the key. That’s as sure a sign of a failed ESL as a steering wheel that won’t unlock when you insert the key into the ignition switch.
The surest way to know is to scan the EIS module.
iCarsoft MB II is an affordable scanner that is able to go into all the modules in your Mercedes.
amzn.to/3G1bTkX
Did u ever figure out the problem
What if the steering wheel unlocks when inserting key but still says remove key and won’t start can the steering lock still be the problem?
No. If the steering wheel unlocks on key insertion and locks on key removal the problem is not your steering lock.
What about the other symptoms I mentioned in this video. Do you have red and yellow dash lights when you turn the key to position 2? That’s two turns to the right.
If you have red and yellow dash lights that is confirmation that you do not have a steering lock problem.

Can a emulator fail my car is emulated and front Sam was replace 6 months ago can the esl emulator fail car only been out shop 6 months now it’s back in shop for no start windows want go up either battery fully charged also
Emulators usually fail if the battery is jump started using too much voltage. Best to not jump a battery using another vehicle. Use a jump pack. Or trickle charge it overnight if you have the time.
So true I jumped my car off and the problem started right after thanks so much for the advice
I took the ignition switch out and I noticed there is a round module that spin like a cooling fan. Where does it mounted to?
That’s the cabin temperature sensor. It’s mounted right next to the EIS. Further to the right if you’re looking at the EIS from the drivers seat. You can see a quarter sized shaped grill on the dash to the right of the EIS. It sits behind that grill.

I have all the symptoms but my steering wheel isn't locked so why can that be if any help
Your steering lock may have failed in the unlocked position.
With the key removed from the ignition, the steering column should lock. If that doesn’t happen you have a faulty steering lock.

Please help me
How much does the mercedes dealer charge for that job??
2-3 thousand.
@mercedesbenzspecialist thank you for replying. Didn't have any idea it would be that much
How can I stop this from happening? I had a Benz and this happened, gave it back to the dealers but I want another one, but don’t want his to happen!!!😢
This issue will happen to all W204 chassis vehicles. It's a matter of the steering lock motor failing. You just have to get it fixed. Or better yet, fix it before it happens.
I offer a service to get this fixed here on my website.

@@mercedesbenzspecialist I heard even if you get it fixed, it will still happen? Benz is so weird for that. I had a 2012 c250, now I’m trying to get a 2014 c250
@@Dashikardashian if you replace it with another factory esl it will happen again. The best choice is an electronic emulator to by pass the factory esl. This is a permanent fix.

Faulty by design. Yeah agreed. Just turned mine in "simulator".. The fault was made by some plastic that stopped halfway the rotating gear. Electronics was ok. So I opened up the aluminium box, removed that little plastic garbage, remounted all and luckily my car was back. That's a really short resume of something that took a whole week ( 2h after day job ). In addition my left door handle broke at the same time. Still wondering if its linked or not.. I took out they and opened the door at the same time very fast so... ?
Note that putting back the steering in place is a real pain in the ass. 3h yesterday afternoon to put back daddy in mummy ( yeah I did no mark ).
Now that box is "glued" along the steering, ready to be removed and replaced the next time it dies, by a true simulator.
As an electronician, this kind of shit should be banned from vehicles. As long as when it works, a modern stealer will bypass it and take the vehicle anyway. The only one who is fucked in this situation is the customer. You pay to be annoyed.
Found a guy on youtube (th-cam.com/video/BoVSH6DP1c8/w-d-xo.html) that demonstrated how you could get the car running again so it could be driven to a dealership or home or whatever. He pulled the 7.5 amp fuse from spot 27 in the fuse block, then put a jumper in place of the starter relay. This got me back to the house. What's the long term issue with running like this; putting a toggle switch and push button in place of the pulling the fuse and the jumper on the relay. My steering lock is not engaged but the symptoms are present.
I’ve seen this trick done a few times. Not with a jumper switch, but with the cover off the starter relay. 3/5 times I’ve seen damaged front fuse and relay modules that needed replacement.
Maybe it was because of this trick, or maybe it was just getting into the front SAM too frequently to jump the starter relay. I’m not sure if this was the cause of the front SAM going bad.
The emulator solution is a permanent fix that may save your front SAM. It cost $250. I would recommend this over jumping the starter relay.
Sir you left out the part on how to slide the steering column thru that hole
Do you mean, through the dashboard? If you have the manually adjustable steering column. You pull it out. It fits.
If you have the electronically adjustable column, you have to remove the accelerator pedal, then pull it out through the bottom.
I've been wondering how to get it out mines just sitting in there still waiting for my emulator miss driving my c63
