Default Out of production parts

When I had my Crossfire in the dealer for TPMS and BAS / ESP warning lights they said had codes indicating I needed to replace three parts: Sensor (5139072AA), Clockspring (68015028AA) and Clockspring (5101577AA), but that these are no longer available through Chrysler. Any suggestions on where I could find them? (supposed to be related to steering angle sensor, brake booster transducer and clockspring)

Do not go to a Chrysler Dealer. You do not own a Chrysler except for the body. All of the mechanical parts are 2003 Mercedese SLK 320.

Where on earth do you get 2003 SLK 320? The parts for the SLK320 are the same from 2001 to 2004.

Not all the parts are from the SLK 320, some are Crossfire specific even mechanically.

Back on topic. You will find that the dealer is almost useless on these cars, as they are indeed a rebodied Mercedes SLK320 (or SLK32 in the case of the SRT6). The clockspring from a C-class will fit, IIRC, and here it is: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...mer-1684600149 One screw will not line up, but I think it is OK, other than that.

As for the brake booster transducer, here it is: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...sor-1635401217

Never ever use Chrysler part numbers, if the dealer gets the part for you the Mercedes label with the Mercedes part number will be under the Chrysler label and the part will cost you much more.
The CrossfireForum.org site has electronic files for the Mercedes part numbers, use the Mercedes part number given. Crossfire specific parts start with 193 . These are harder to find so go to eBay for used parts. Chrysler dealers do not want to bother with our cars so forget them, likewise Mercedes couldn’t care less either. Look after the parts you have as you may have a hard time replacing them.

Use this link to locate an independent, reputable M-B service shop in your area. As others have stated, Chrysler Dealers are no longer interested and/or supportive of the Crossfire. And Mercedes-Benz dealers typically won't work on the cars probably driven by some jealous attitude due to the Crossfire being a better looking vehicle than the comparable M-B SLK320 series from 2001 to 2004 (MHO). And to back up my position on this point, some years back I tried to buy Crankcase Breather Cover screws; 1st from a Chrysler Dealer (which ended up being too long) & then from the local Mercedes-Benz Dealer Parts Counter. When I told the attendant at the M-B Parts Counter I needed the screws for my 2007 Crossfire, he refused to sell me the screws! I've never been back for anything and/or to look at any of the car inventory.

I went through this whole process of trying to fix my factory TPMS, but realized it wasn't worth it. For possibly a few hundred dollars to fix, all you get is a basic warning of low pressure, with no indication of even which tire it is.

I went with a $60 wireless TPMS system that took 1 minute to install, super accurate and also shows you current PSI of each tire and even the tire temps, which the factory one couldn't dream of offering.

All you do is install the valve stem cap sensors on each wheel, then stick your wireless digital receiver anywhere you want in the cabin. Literally the size of a deck of cards, rechargeable and most have a solar panel to keep it charged up.

The best $60 you can spend on your car, I put them on all my old cars and even our new Toyota which also came with a basic warning only system so I can see the individual tire pressures. You can find many of these systems for sale on Amazon. The only issue is the batteries in the sensors only last about 1-2 years, but that a easy $5 and 5 minute job to fix.

Could you name some for me so I can check them against my MB and Chrysler Electronic Parts lists.
Exclude parts for the roadster roof, I do not think there is too many at all, things like the engine cover and badges, wheel etc but they are not mechanical.

I just found this TPMS on Amazon (Canada) with a 20.00 off coupon. Fits in the cigarette lighter and has a USB port. $35.98 after discount. I will buy one and see how it works.
