I just did this mod on my 2004 with 36,000 miles on it. Locked up in driveway. Followed the .pdf, took about 1-1/2 hours. Worked as advertised.

Here's my question...if removing that spring and pin behind the door fixes it...which it does...why the hell do they have the damn soring and pin there to begin with? What does it do? All the other functions work without it, so why did they even put it in the assembly? Stupid...

Typical over engineering by Mercedes Benz, a backup the main locking function of the ignition. Just like wearing a belt and suspenders....
