Don’t
fall for the dealerships charging you hundreds if not thousands of
pounds for
a new ESL which has the same potential to fail. Replace it with a solid state emulator using our postal
programming service and never have to worry about it failing again.
The
original Mercedes
steering lock has a weak point in its design, a small DC motor that is
used to wind the locking peg in and out of the splined steering column.Over time
this wears, fails and presents the following symptoms :
• Unable to turn the key in the ignition
• The steering remains locked with the key in the ignition
• The ignition key turns, but no lights on the dash
• The steering lock is OFF with no key in the ignition
• Diagnosis Fault Code A25464 A25407 A25408 A25409
How Does the service Work?
NOTE
: Before anything else, make sure you are able to remove the original
faulty steering lock from its position on the steering column. If it has
failed in the locked position this may be quite a difficult task but
needs to be done for this service to work. You do NOT need to send the original steering lock, nor will you need to reconnect it once the emulator is programmed and in place.
1. Purchase this "Repair service" for your ESL.
2. Remove the following from your vehicle and package securely for posting in a sturdy box :
-
Your vehicles electronic ignition switch (Known as the EIS or EZS, its the module your key plugs into)
This can be removed
from the dash by unscrewing the locking bezel that holds it in place and
unhooking the connectors on the rear of the unit.
- A key
that was currently known to start the vehicle before the ESL faults started occuring.
- Full contact details in the package including your vehicles registration details
Send the above via Special Delivery or Courier to:
FOBFIX, 28 North View, Wilsden, Bradford, BD15 0NH
3. The service will be completed and your original EIS/Key and newly coded ESL emulator will be returned via Special Delivery the day after repair.
4. Once received, Fit the ESL emulator module in place of the original ESL and secure adequately.
5. Start your car !
Our Guarantee
Your ESL emulator is guaranteed for parts and labour for twelve months from repair.
I
have a very high success rate but occasionally an ESL emulator cannot
be programmed due to the fault being with the Key/EIS or vehicle. I will contact
you and
explain the fault in plain and simple terms. You will then have the
option to cancel your purchase.
In the unlikely event that repair is not possible I will refund your FULL payment including postage and return your Key/EIS.
