Did same repair, simply reheated the exiisting solder without adding any new material worked. This part is extremely tiny (for someone who is not working in electronics every day), I was mildly nervous, but it came out ok, same setup that you are using and going nice and easy is key. My tip setting was around 400 degrees. No additional solder used.

Very helpful video. Just repaired a ML 350 and it worked perfectly.

Great video. Just did mine in 45 minutes. To remove the ashtray and radio, you will need a T20 Torx

I am not gwtting any codes on my ml350 but its the EIS or the key. When turning no dash lights turn on. It lets me turn to try and crank and nothing. We were going to the beach in this car and mechanic is stumped so it looks like we are not at i need to figure this out on my own. Did you get an eis code? Mine is not intermitent it just stopped starting. Im not getting remove key so i think its the key. I do not have a spare.

Thank you so much for this fantastic video! Did you have to reprogram the key after you soldered the ignition connection?

@projectdoit1 I burned the small part with my solder iron. Where would I go to get that small white part? Anyplace to order online?

[dcfrogman]

I have this exact problem. I could use your help. How can I reach you?

[alexk]

i have similar problem. sometimes lights come on but it wouldn't start when i turn the key.
other times no lights come on at all and it takes a few tries to start.
also when i get inside sometimes there's a message "don't forget Your key"
i wish You did show how it looks on Yours.?

[justinyu]

is this only for ML? does it apply to C or E?

Hi, Could this type of cold joint problem on the EIS cause first cold start problem in cold weather? At which point a lot of Can problems are seen in diagnostic error codes. And then it is corrected by removing the EIS fuse only. If it is the fault of the microprocessor, only the entire EIS-unit needs to be replaced ? @projectathos

Hello, thx for your great video, I Hv the same problem of my w164 with code C141! Is it the same as yours ? Thanks !

So much easier to remove the EIs with R/H drive cars.
