On a 2002 ML320, the AAM & EAM have NO influence on starting OR running!

Did they give you any idea of codes from the truck? IS there a DAS issue?

DAS is controlled by a module (FBM) that plugs into the EAM.

DAS= drivers authorization system (anti-theft)

dogbolz, sounds like you need to find some MB dealer techs who are trained to diagnose problems with your vintage MB automobile. Unfortunately for many techs if their high tech diagnostic equipment can't pinpoint the problem for them the resolution is a struggle, and you pay for their on-the-job training.

Sounds like they are guessing, not diagnosing. Lazy way of fixing is to throw parts at until they get lucky/you go broke. Fire their lazy arses!
