    I tried looking up mountain tools and ATD so if I ever had to warranty one of the tools I could contact them. I couldn't find any information for them online. I tried clicking on your Amazon or Walmart links and ATD tools doesn't sell it directly. The tools are being sold through a reseller. I tried reaching out to them and they advised me to warranty the tools to contact the seller directly. I have heard that these tools can potentially break if you put too much torque on them

    Hey Lou, thanks for these videos. My 2014 E550 front two shocks are low in the mornings. Some days its fine, some days its low(slammed). It does have electrical connections on the front struts. When the car is low it given the "vehicle rising, do not drive" message. Once filled the car is okay to drive around. After the car is raised, when I disconnect the inlet line from compressor that feeds valve block and zap strap it with a balloon, the car periodically lowers the cars and fills the balloon. I did not disconnect any batteries. Is the car self levelling once parked or does this mean faulty valve block as the ballon is periodically getting filled with the car off?

  • @MasterTechLou
    @MasterTechLou4 күн бұрын

    Well, I don’t know what you consider cheap. But when you get into programming and coding scanners its In the thousands range. And not one scanner will be able to do all makes and models. All modules necessary. Plus if you buy used, or from non authorized seller you might not get full functions or support. So sift youtube vids on scanner danner, farm project, super mario, see what scanners they are using to program. I personally am just getting into the aftermarket stuff. So I cant say what will absolutely work.

    Lou, I'm having Airmatic problems and when you begin to show how to "jump the relay" around the 58:30 mark, your hands are out of view so I can't see which legs of the relay to touch to see if its good. My rear suspension only is bottomed out, I changed the rear level sensor and that did nothing. I can't get my compressor to turn on AT ALL. I'm frustrated to say the least.

With scan tool & go to EIS Drive Authorize, when I insert key into EIS all terminal 15s OFF. Tested key & EIS was good, I though it was the ESL failed but never saw a symptom like this before.

    Try this key in another benz, if key is good dash will say “wrong key inserted” Same with the glk. No zip noise, is steering wheel unlocked? 2wd or 4wd? Some did not have esl. Also check eis fuse. Does car lock and unlock? If so vin passes through eis. Which means eis is good kind of and same with key. Glimmmer of hope.
