Just checking, but is it possible to install/program a used ESM module in a W210 ('98 E300)? I know on the newer vehicles it needs to be a new module, but wasn't sure on a car this old. Thanks!

No problem replacing the ESM with a used one. Just make sure the part numbers are compatible...........

Thanks! Do they need to be programmed, or no?

Not on a 1998

Thanks guys!

Yep, plug and play.........

FWIW, the entire problem with this car ended up being a dead battery. Showed ~12V, but had no amperage available to actually do anything with. New battery fixed the problem.
