andymc1973 189 Posted September 15 Just bought at Manheim and the horn doesn’t work nor any of the steering wheel controls, it’s not showing an error on the snap on and all the fuses are ok, is it usually the steering wheel squib on these? Many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick M.K. 535 Posted September 15 Yes contact spiral behind the wheel, I think it's one part combined with the steering angle sensor. £250 ish from MB. Obviously take wheel off first, clean contacts behind it, check wiring before replacing that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andymc1973 189 Posted September 15 is it ok to buy used Nik? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick M.K. 535 Posted September 16 I wouldn’t because the new one comes locked in the centre position with a removable pin. Used ones are often sold without being centered and secured properly. You can try a used one if they accept returns. You’ll know immediately if it works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andymc1973 189 Posted September 16 will the Merc star software pick it up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andymc1973 189 Posted September 16 i would have hoped the snap on would pick that up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHM 623 Posted September 17 Snap-Ons are poor on a number of things - especially Volvos. Half of the time your better of with a £150 ebay special (as ‘my’ gearbox man found out last week when his snap on couldn’t even reset the 4x4 warning on a 10yr old XC90).

Rory RSC 481 Posted September 17 Snap ons bad for Merc Andy. We are trying to buy a knock off star for the Merc's we are stocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
