Top 20 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Questions & Answers

Did you check the fuses? And for how long was it parked?

First, you really don't give us enough info to help you. What kind of a car? Power door locks? Do you mean the key won't turn in the lock? Is the lock frozen? What country are you in? In the USA, just call a locksmith and they can come out slip a special tool down the window to open it up.

Apart from plugging the car into a diagnostic no its probably cheaper to change the part it could also be a faulty coil pack but if its like my m reg c class there is 1 per cylinder would start but run rubbish if the parts buttons just replace it then you kniw if its that or not

I would remove all the belts as they will get in the way draw a diagram to show how the belts go on just remove the bolts that look like there conected to the water pump dont worry about removing the wrong ones as the rest are just for thev timeing belt cover and wont make any difference as long as they go back in hope this helps ivan

short in horn wiring....try spraying wd 40 on exposed horn wires if you can get to them

sound like you have had a circuit over load from a short and now there will be burnt wires under the dash . Check for what wires have burnt and then check the fuse size for that circuit as it should have burnt out before the wires did.

call dealer parts dep. with VIN# ask for parts, they will give you the #

With the ignition on check there is Voltage on one side of the brake light switch with the brake pedal at rest , depress the pedal and there should be voltage at the other terminal . if not bad switch, if ok blown bulbs or bad connection.

faulty blower switch or relay.

open a window or get air con fixed

With out having the car its a bit hard. when the abs light comes on it means a fault of some kind, low brake fluid , faulty censer at the front wheels, a lump of mud can cause them to give a fault report. The engine oil pressure switch may be at fault . Before it is driven again remove the switch and fit a oil pressure gauge start and read the pressure. if OK fit a new switch, if not don't drive the oil pump bypass valve may have stuck open or have a broken spring.

Have the fault codes read. Replace faulty items. Use only genuine items as replacement as non-genuine are not always compatible with the OEM fitted CPU units. This results in the fault codes not cancelling out

If it has a free wheeling clutch fan it spins faster as the engine heats up.

If the fan that cools the condensor is not working then the aircon will not work .

It should be in the manual supplied with the car. If not call mercedes and give them your vin, reg private detail etc and if you get a nice person,problem will be solved. It happen to me, but not a merc that you gladly own. I'm n battery not sure about this advice but a merc uses a high voltage and you may need a new battery.

Hello

The Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.

check the cable

RUN THE scanner and computer do not waste the time and your money. The EMC OR BCM is faulty or speed sensor faulty with the scanner determine which is faulty.God bless you

Could be one of 2 problems: Steering torque lock is stuck, try pulling steering wheel in both directions while trying to turn key. ORThe barrel of the ignition key is damaged/worn out. I have changed the barrel on my Merc and it is a real headache. Would recommend a locksmith to do it. If you want to do it yourself, 1) Remove all facia covers starting with the 2 small screws at the hand break release and work your way towards center of car.2) When lock is visible, you will see a locking pin on the steering lock shaft (this pin is titanium and cannot be drilled out). A slot needs to be cut from the pin to the edge of the steering lock shaft. 3) Remove gear lock cable from switch.4) Remove lock from steering column (brute force is needed!)5) With heated screw driver (small Phillips) push holes through square profiles (3x) at the back of the switch, wiring side, and remove screws to expose wiring switch; N.B. align key-way before removing switch box, otherwise you will need an auto electrician to re-wire.6) Take metal part of switch to a locksmith to locate circlips that secure the barrel in the switch. Slots have to be cut into the black surround which is titanium and cannot be drilled. (This part of the job you cannot do yourself without specialist tools.) Remove barrel.7) Purchase new barrel from MB Dealer with new key, and repeat the above procedure in reverse.8) As I said - take it to a locksmith!Good luck! It took me and the locksmith 3 days!

Hi Deachaumett, The socket is an OBD1 not two and the eight pin is the socket. You will need to have the diagnostics for OBD 1 and the correct socket. Regards John
