2001 Mercedes-Benz Ml-Class Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a guy in the College Estates area in Oxnard. His 2001 ML320 had been sitting in the driveway for two days because his only key stopped turning the ignition. He said the remote buttons still locked and unlocked the doors, but the key went into the EIS and just felt stuck halfway through the rotation.
I already had a good idea what was going on. The W163 EIS module is known for worn internal contacts. The steering lock mechanism binds up as those tiny copper traces wear down over 20-plus years.
I pulled up, checked the key first. HU64 blade had some wear but nothing crazy. The transponder was reading fine through my diagnostic tool, and the immobilizer was not throwing a block. It was mechanical. The EIS internals were dragging.
I worked the steering wheel side to side while applying slow, even pressure on the key. It finally broke free. Tested it a few more times, smooth every cycle, but I told him the truth: this is going to come back. The EIS module on these W163s has a shelf life, and once it starts binding, it gets worse.
He asked what the dealer quoted him. He said they wanted to tow it in, order parts, and it would be over a week before he had his car back. I had him turning the key in his own driveway that afternoon.
