SerendipitySage Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago I am utterly perplexed by my 2017 C-Class AMG 4MATIC; it functioned flawlessly when parked, yet the following morning it exhibited no crank. The doors unlock, the dashboard illuminates, but there is no cranking action. I have examined every fuse and relay, including the concealed high-powered fuses, all of which are intact. The starter relay receives voltage at pin 30, but there is no voltage at pin 86. I have bypassed the relay, and the vehicle cranks but fails to start; it seems there is an obstruction preventing voltage from reaching pin 86. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

KOOLCAR Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago It may pertain to the security aspect; are both keys identical in this regard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELGIGANTE Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Is it equipped with EIS-type ignition? Occasionally, a malfunctioning EIS may provide you with nuanced (and overt) alerts prior to its total failure, potentially leaving you in a difficult situation. My 2006 C class experienced an incident where, after refuelling, the instrument gauges remained stationary and the windows failed to operate; I drove it home without issue. Over the subsequent days, while parked on my property, I tested both keys at various intervals, yielding inconsistent outcomes, including instances where the engine would not crank; it would have been quite unfortunate had this occurred at the service station. I removed the EIS and dispatched it for repairs; it has functioned well ever since. If your vehicle lacks EIS, I have merely squandered your time. I trust that everything will turn out favourably.

SerendipitySage Posted 17 hours ago Author Share Posted 17 hours ago Hello, I appreciate your response; however, my vehicle does not possess that feature. I initially believed it was the issue since it occurred with my neighbor's car. My car also lacks a steering lock, which I assumed was the cause, but it seems that is now standard due to previous complications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerendipitySage Posted 17 hours ago Author Share Posted 17 hours ago Greetings, I possess only a single key; however, I am contemplating whether it is a security immobiliser issue or if the key itself is the problem. I believe a diagnostic assessment will be necessary. Thank you for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
