Update. Repair estimate at Mercedes Dealer
$2850.00. Not sure pdf of estimate will send but the repair looks fairly
complicated. I’m splitting the cost of repair with my son.
Issue is locked steering wheel and no crank /start.
Steering Lock Module - $505
Ignition Switch- $735
Program 2 keys - $270
Labor - $1224
Involves removing entire steering column.
This really makes me appreciate my W123’s

Jumpstart did not help. From watching some vids it appears to be an ELS
(electric steering lock) issue. It seems to be in locked position and
according to vids it is a $2000 repair from Mercedes. I’ll call dealership in
the morning.

The first thought is the battery. EIS likely locks the steering column with a
solenoid, so no power, no unlock. The battery could have enough juice to run
the radio but not the rest of the car. Once voltage falls below a certain point
stuff either gets wonky or just doesn’t work.
Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Fairly new to us 2013 Mercedes C300. Son purchased a couple of months ago.
About 150,000 miles on it.
Not sure why but it will not turn over. He parked it at the mall and when he
came out it would not fire up. Steering wheel is in lock position and turned
to the far right and does not unlock when key is turned. Is the steering lock
supposed to release with key or when the car starts? The key turns all the way
in the ignition but there is zero response, no clicks or sounds. The battery
seems to be working as the radio works normally.
Any thoughts about what we might check or trouble shoot before we call the tow
truck?
Thanks, Mike
