'99 S500. Altanator Disaster. FYI.
Just got around to installing a eBay 150amp alt'. As I put the B- Ground back on, BIG FLASH and dash lights on, EIS Denied start through can gateway in shifter and ETM. SRS came on and ABS too. Codes stated Can resistance too low.
Steering never locked even with key cycled....ie...engine not cranked but steering lock not engaging.
Pulled all wires off alternator and she fired right up , per normal, just like nothing happened.
Hunting help on Google, saw a lot of Cold Weather 'Key won't turn" posts.
So now to hunt up an alt'.
Anyone else had in freezing weather, ignition key ( EIS type.) not turning ?
I already sent email to seller. One year warranty. ...but not keen on installing another eBay alt'.
MB wants $900 for new alt'.
