Hi

I have a 2010 e class diesel manual. Drove fine yesterday morning, yesterday afternoon got in and will not start. Power going to cabin lights and odometer reading on dash, key turns.fully, but absolutely no power.

Tried to jump, no success. Also looked at some of the fuses, all seem fine. Any ideas? Completely beached in driveway....

Have you got a spare key to try, could be an immobolizer issue where key has a problem.

Hi

Both keys same. They turn ignition full semi circle, but zero happens electrically. Steering wheel lock remains, brakes have no power. Nothing

A problem that Mercedes-Benz owners may face is the key no longer turns in the ignition. This issue is often caused either by a defective key, bad shifter module, a failed Electronic Ignition Switch (EIS) also known as the EIS-EZS or a bad steering lock module (ESL). This problem can affect various Mercedes-Benz models including E-Class, S-Class, C-Class, CLK-Class, ML-Class, SL-Class, etc.

Possible Symptoms
Possible symptoms of a failed Mercedes-Benz include:

Key does not turn in the ignition due to failed EIS
Key doesn’t turn during cold weather
Key may turn, but the instrument cluster lights don’t turn on
Unable To Turn The Key, Unable To Start The Car
Can turn the key but car won’t start
Mercedes key intermittently works
Push start button no longer works
