Felicity001:


Very true at the bolded.

Come dash me the car nah make I take do some guys pepper body small

Okay to all my ogas in the house pls kindly assist as I've been having this issue with my car for almost 3 weeks now.

About 4-5months ago my key feel into a very deep gutter and after about 1hr of getting it out it corrupted the ignition and the brainbox shut down the car entirely.

Removed the ignition mouth took it to ladipo and a reprogram was done and car came back to life.

A month after car wouldn't start but after a while it will start until one Sunday when it didn't start at all. Kick start was replaced and car worked perfectly again.

Like 1 or 2 months after car won't start after putting it off but when another battery is used it starts well with just a single crank.

PS: Just a twist of the key on ignition my car usually start.

So, on this fateful night after clubbing to go home car didn't start... Lol used a friend's battery, no way!

Next morning my electrician came and as if he had a magical hands cars started without doing anything.

No no no!!! Oga how did you do it? Donut again. He did and car started what??!!

I did same, put it off and did same way he did, it started. Hmm!

We moved, and noticed gear wouldn't select very well. Hmm!

Now, this is the new starting technics, turn and hold key till car starts. The first few seconds of holding key you won't hear any cranking sound at all but after like 3-5 seconds it cranks and start and when you engage hear you'll hear a hit sound from the gear like it was forcefully put into gear. Instrument cluster will display error message (visit workshop) and the P sign would still display despite car in motion, gear won't exceed the 1st. No matter the distance covered.

But sometimes if car starts by just a single twist of the key everything works perfectly well, gear selects normally and the P changes immidately to R, N and D.

My electrician said it's my key, that I need to change it completely.

Who has'd similar experience b4?

Itsrm:


When I had this issue with a car( not MB) it was the kick. I kept leaving it to crank after 3-5 seconds till one day it just wouldn't crank no matter how long I left it.

I'm not saying that's your issue, just offering a perspective.

Kewtt:

We need to talk

Felicity001:

Which of the SAM? the one in the engine bay, beside the steering wheel or in the trunk?? I don't have water issue but will check tomorrow morning.

Car stated and worked well today after same problem this morning on the 1st start. More thank 5 more starts it worked well without any issue at all.

Good evening house, tried starting my C240 this evening, it refused to start just the fan blowing on high speed. What could be d reason

nymphomaniac:

Opened my front fuse box and saw water in it. My electrician is far from me but told me to remove the brain box and put it under d sun to dry up, and I plan on loosing the fuse box as well to dry up properly

Kewtt:
sorry o, remember to disconnect the ba3 too, two days in full blast sun should do. or get rubbing alcohol wash, for both the ecu and sam

Felicity001:


I'll take the car for a scan tomorrow and then to my senior electrician in Trinity... I believe he should have an idea of what is happening.

But the beast of a car worked perfectly fine today.

And I was already making plans to have the gear box either serviced or changed entirely b4 oh not until I observed and understood the problem today. If not it would've been a wasted efforr and money spent.

duality:



Driving to trinity is not easy how do you do it.

The last time I tried, I saw traffic at se and rainbow. I had to reverse and go home.

Which road una dey follow.

AutoMoTech:

Hope it has started?

bliss11:
Was busy all tru today, but sunned the brainbox, scared to completely remove the fuse box cos of the connections under so as not to mix it up, but used towel to dry out d water. I’ll assemble it tomorrow and hope it turns on

Kewtt:

Do same for the SAM. aka fusebox

bliss11:
Thanks 4 d tip. I’ll just leave the bonnet open through out today for sun to dry it up well

AutoMoTech:

It can be tiring but you can never mix it up. Every connector can only fit in one socket.
If you still can, try remove it so you can dry it properly.

Kewtt:

That thing is surprising. Benz took time to ensure no mistakes
