Introduction:

Various Mercedes model can cars suffer with faulty Electronic Steering Locks also known as ‘ESL’ – replacement ESL units are very costly & require specialist tools to program them to your car. 

If your car is a W204 / W207 or W212 chassis type, a simple alternative is to disconnect the ESL & fit an emulator. The emulators for these models still require programming to your vehicle but are a fraction of the cost of replacing the ESL with a new one. Simply remove your ‘EIS’ (Electronic Ignition switch) & send it to us along with a working key for your car & we will supply & program an emulator that will plug into your existing wiring with no need for further programming thus eliminating the need to replace the ESL. 

Common symptoms of a failed ESL is that the key will turn in the EIS but no ignition lights come on, the car does not crank & there isn’t the familiar noise of the steering lock disengaging, there may be a fault code stored in the EIS of ‘Fault with ESL’ or ‘No comms with ESL’ but this fault code is not always present.
