I had the red green red lights flashing in the mirror. I could crank but not start my petrol 1995 C220 W202. I thought it was an immobiliser issue. I finally found one comment on a Mercedes owners website- just one line that said "check your Over Voltage Protection (OVP) Relay". (relay in that silver box with the fuse next to OBD port). I did and that was it! That was my problem fixed! Easiest way to check the OVP is to remove the metal relay case and push the bottom relay with a plastic pen (with key in position 2) and you should hear the fuel pump and injectors come to life...and you can start your car. Order a new OVP relay (around $100) and you are good to go! I hope my post helps someone as this was a major, major issue for me and i hope I can save another W202 owner from all this heartache! I was about to junk my car and send it to the wreckers as no one - not even the MB Dealer could diagnose the fault!

@@aadne5992 Maybe try working it out gently with a screw driver. Sounds like it has corroded in there. Also it might be that someone has previously pulled off the case before. Once I got mine out it was quite difficult to separate the case from the relay. Now your case is off use something plastic to engage the relay and see if you can hear your fuel pump start or the injectors. If so, your relay is faulty and needs replacing. I carry a spare in my glovebox now all the time now.

Sheez it worked?

So I have the same car except left hand steering.. my question is, is that this can do no harm to the car even if the bypass procedure is done correctly and dosent work?

I think Mercedes original immo ( the other black box ) cuts the ground to the ignition coil. The aftermarket alarm does the same thing after the immo. They are connected in series to coil ground I think. When he remover the alarm and connects 2 green wires the alarm is bypassed but immobilizer still works. I will try to disable immo on my s600 after month. Wish me luck :D

Thank's a lot. it worked a treat

the 2 wires that comes out from the immobilizer follow them and see..... that one of them is making a loop to the alarm and then it comes back and continues away look at the colors :) . In my case was the green wire was going from the immobilizer and then was connected to a Purple that went to the alarm and came back a RED and Yellow that connected to the other side of the green that I believe it continues to the ECU.

I think what he did was to bypass the alarm module. Probably the alarm module failed and that's why the car wasn't starting. He did not bypassed the immobilizer so I think it still requires to unlock it before he can start it.

This only applies to the early c class models, I've got a c270cdi from 2002 and under the footwell it is nothing like this, there is only a Siemens black box, not silver, therefore I still need to bypass the immobilizer and can't find anything about it.

True, that video is for the W202 series before the face-lift. They were fitted with a FBS2a Immobilizer system. Your model C270CDI which is a W203, is fitted with a FBS3 system according to (ecu.eu/immobiliser-systems-mercedes-benz-60.htm). This website says that the FBS3 (EIS/EZS) is actually the Immobolizer. For interest sake, what does your car do / behave to say or think that it has an Immo issue?

This has nothing to do with the immobiliser. You disable the DAS 1 immobilizer by unlocking the car via remote, which he did. It's not as simple as cutting 2 wires unforunately..
