Mercedes help
4/19/15

Posted on 04/19/2015 1:22:27 PM PDT by pabianice

I have a 2009 Mercedes 300. I have tried the recommended method to reset the "Service 30 days overdue" light without success. I have an engine analyst/code resetter. Where is the socket in the C300 to which to attach it? Thanks.

I don’t have a Mercedes but you might look under the steering wheel. (Generally readily available and obvious.) Another location is above a fuse box on the driver’s side under the hood.

I had a Mercedes and it was constantly doing stupid stuff like this.. Telling me the hood was up when it wasn’t..

I got rid of it just before the warranty expired. I didn’t want to be on the hook for the service managers boat payments.

Mercedes Renard? Glad you asked.

She likes long walks on the beach. Puppies and champagne.

I dated her for awhile, no personality whatsoever.

I had a 2011.I found the method to deactivate the service warning on youtube.I'm a technology dunce and was able to do it so unless things changed from ‘09 to ‘11 you should be fine.

Find a Mercedes forum (there are a number of them), try searching for an answer, and if not, then post your question.

I could do it but it’ll cost you $120...at least for the first hour of labor. Parts are extra.

All seriousnous aside...it’ll probably be cheaper than it cost us to get one headlight bulb replaced in my wife’s Prius...$300. They had to unwrap the front end to get to the bulb.

A standard OBD2 tool will NOT reset the service required light on a Mercedes.

I believe it’s under the dash.. little snap door that pulls down just to the side of the steering column on the left.

Hold your mouth just right, put your car in park, turn the key to “on”, put the radio on FM 108, press the brake and the gas pedals at the exact same time 19 times in 2 seconds while holding in the odometer reset

Boat payments I could handle. It’s my dentists vacation home in Tahoe that bugs me.
