2002 Mercedes-Benz Cl-Class Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a guy near the Santa Barbara Airport area in Goleta. His 2002 CL500 would not turn over. Key goes in the EIS, dash lights up, then nothing. No crank, no click. He had already been on the MBWorld forums reading horror stories about EIS failure on the W215 and was half convinced the car needed a flatbed ride to the dealer.
I pulled up and tested his key first. The infrared signal from the remote head was fine, battery still had life, and the transponder was responding. The issue was the EIS module itself. The internal contacts where the key blade engages the ignition switch had worn down. Pretty common on these W215 and W220 cars once they hit the 15-to-20-year mark.
I pulled the EIS, opened it up on his kitchen counter. One of the micro-switch contacts inside was corroded and intermittent. Cleaned it, tested continuity, reassembled. Back in the car, key turned, engine fired. He just stood there watching the tach needle settle at idle like he did not trust it yet.
Then I tested the remote buttons, all four: lock, unlock, trunk, panic. Checked the steering lock release cycle. Everything was talking.
He had already been quoted a multi-week timeline from the dealer because a full EIS replacement on the W215 means ordering the module, shipping keys to the key center in Michigan, and waiting for the whole thing to come back married. I saved him all of that with a bench repair and a single visit.

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
