hello your ignition swicth is bad

The ASR (acceleration slip regulation) light is for the ETA (electronic throttle actuator) it is a mysterious beast that controls throttle placement. I would say that you have one of two problems. Either the interior insulation of the wiring of the ETA is is crumbling or the wiring harness is disintegrating. Either fix isn't cheap although if I had to pick one I'd pick the wiring harness. It's about a third of an ETA. In short check he wiring to the ETA, look for damage or water intrusion, if nothing is found you will have to replace the ETA control.
READ THIS POST FROM A M-BENZ FORUM MEMBER ON ASR ISSUE
For two years I lived with the the ASR light coming on shortly after starting the car and had to either continue driving it in the limp home mode, or stop the car to restart it to regain normal engine operation with the ASR light out. Finally, it got so bad I simply took a chance, after discussing the problem with a reputable local indie, and bought a rebuilt ETA from Potomac German Auto and put it in. The part had a one year warranty with it and was about half the cost of a new unit from MB. There are other companies out there that rebuild these units as well. At any rate the ASR problem went away. To give you a reference point, my car had about 156,000 miles on it when I did this repair. That may or may not be significant to your situation, and I probably should have corrected this problem well before I did, but I didn't.

From what you said the car goes to LIMP HOME mode and that is ASR issue that can't be solved by connecting your car to the computer and having the issue pinpointed. ASR can't be tested.You will have to replace engine wiring harnes FIRST part # 140 540 47 05 buy on line or on EBAY cost is about $610.00, check the performance of your car, if you lucky then this it. But from my experience next to replace is a left ETA (if not two of them) to fix this problem they are VERY EXPENSIVE about $4000.00 ea. ETA Left # 000 141 72 25 and right # 000 141 39 25. Word of advice DON"T BUY ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTION PARTS USED, remove your own ETA's from the car and call BBA Remanufacturing Inc. @ 866-573-2740 (www.bba-reman.com) they can rebuild your own ETA's at about $300.00 ea plus shipping.The work is guaranteed. After replacing above parts the car will run like new. No ASR issues for next 10-15 years. So far I find this as a number one issue with Mercedes S600. Good luck.

hello,try to use your spare key,check your battery in your remove key,try unlock and lock near your car,also try your mechanical key,ty

I also had the ASR light on and no power. It was the throttle actuator not working properly. I did a tune-up and the problem went away.

It's the amp.

An s600 is basically two engines bolted together. The fact that it doesn't even try to run on at least six cylinders tells me that it is most likely a control module problem or an EZL-this is located on driver's side under hood on top of wheelwell(you'll need to remove the cover panel to access). It is bolted on and probably even has a vacuum line going to it, along with three plugs. This is not cheap by any means, so look for a used one online. This is about the only unit that you can replace without having to take it to a shop, and unfortunately it oftentimes will scrap a vehicle(due to the cost)

It is likely that your blower motor is blown.

Hi, could be the overload relay, this is the relay with a spade fuse in the top, could be under a black cove.r. Regards Tom (uk)

well..charles..i used to drop short block chevys into a jag, and that only made my hair turn grey..this is a possible, with a load of modifications..some shops do this as a specialty of course, and you might enjoy this journey..stock up on strong elixirs though..

Hi, Can you tell us how you found out the fans aren't working?
It operates only when car is running and engine is hot.

If the cylinder is jamming occasionally, then have it replaced immediately. If the cylinder is jammed up and will not turn, take it to the dealer and let them have a go at it. If you've decided to already delve into it yourself and have locked it down, then get out the hacksaw and start cutting. I've found that if you remove the electronic portion of the switch and take an airsaw to the lock portion only-not the steering column that it is bolted to-and cut through it, you can hopefully get the guts to fall out of the lock and you will be able to remove the lockpin that has fallen into the mechanism. If not, then it's also a new steering column.
