So figured I would order it and see what I got after seeing that part no. had worked for somebody else. Received the Siemans module. The package had actually come from Mercedes who refused to sell to me directly. I had talked to a good Mercedes mechanic and he said plug in module turn on key and wait a couple seconds before engaging starter and sometimes they will program themselves. I did so and it started. PS tried replying to your Email but came back unsendable.
THANK YOU Mr. NPD !!! Pretty much what you have explained is what you wrote in your previous post.As you found out, it is/was confusing. Considering the fact that the Siemans number AND the Chrysler number both come up SHOWING they're in the door has led to my confusion and a few others as well.I have a local Mercedes source and a Chrysler source that's a couple thousand miles away. I will be in contact with them this morning and more than likely have a module on it's way soon.Thanks AGAIN for clearing this up ! I will let the forum know how my particular situation unfolds. Norm :-)
