SRS Error W211

[obsolete]

Assalamo a laikum. I hope everyone is doing fine.

I have a SRS error on my W211. I searched google and it said it is because of a faulty clock spring (yes the clock spring is bad as the indicators do not auto cancel). Anyone has any experience on this?

Do the steering controls work?

[obsolete]

Yes they do

2 things arnt working.... the signal auto cancel and the dimmer switch for dimming the dash lights and the dimmer on the instrument cluster.....so right now the lights are at the lowest level.....cant turn them up also

This doesn't seem like an issue with the clock spring, otherwise your Benz's horn and steering controls would have stopped working.

instead of relying on google, have you scanned the car for errors - it maybe a squirelly gateway module too due to moisture damage. (been there done that)

Clock spring is associated with air bag plus horn & indicator cancel function. These both things come up on clock spring.

On later german cars, the clockspring is what works the indicators cancel function

[obsolete]

As far as I know, the clock spring is responsible for the indicator cancel function on the mercedes...

Okay.
