Won't start, headrest up, drove over concrete block, car bounced.

Car ran OK after driving over concrete block in parking lot. Parked it, and it restarted OK. No extra noises. Next morning, car will not start, and notice the headrest (roll bars) in back seat are up. Lowered them with button on dash. Still will not start. Charged battery. Still will not start. Seems I have heard of this problem before when vehicle tire lifts, that rear headrest pop up, and some sort of starting issue.

Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.

You need to get it to an m.b. shop to have it scanned. There is no way to guess what could be wrong with it - hundred different things- Hope you got triple A !!!:frown:

Take it to the shop? No way.
Why pay some head banger tech big $ to F/U my car,
when I can F it U all by myself
Cleared codes with my black market multiplexer.

"Take it to the shop." Think about it.
With that sort of advice, what's the point of even
having a forum to begin with.
"Take it to the shop", why even post anything ,
just, "take it to the shop".

"Take it to the shop" is anti forum advice.
Good grief, boy, put on your thinking cap.

Wow-
First of all I am not a headbanger:rolleyes:.
- I take my job very seriously and professoinaly- having solely worked on M.B.'s for 9 years now, I know the nightmare it can be to diag. M.B's. (and also can be very simple stupid fixes)
Second- You show your ignorance by "clearing " your codes.
You use these codes to determine what the issues are.
Thirdly - If you dont know how to check the basics on your car(fuel, spark, air) you have no business DIY.
You gave no indication you "scanned " the car, therefore i gave the advice I gave. You gave no indication you had the capibilities to do so.

You have no idea some of the crazy things I have seen and weird electrical issues I have had to figure out.--Put my thinking cap on???? Really - You are the one that needs a thinking cap on!- not run to the internet and expect a magic bullet ! Then expect us all to use telepithy to figure out your car!
Get out there , get your little hands dirty, give us some info and then we might get some were!

Also- how did you not see the block?!

Your an insulting little t_urd, aren't you.
Don't wet your panties over this one.
You were easy to spot,
and you took the bait, bright boy.
"Take it to the shop" advice from
another overrated MB monkey.
"Take it to the shop", what a laugh.

"Easy to spot" ?? "took the bait"??
Well -I see your level of matureity ( or lack there of)
You dont think I have seen Hundreds of guys like you - internet genius' .
Go ahead and peck away at your key board - while I actually go to work today and repair cars.
Good luck with your car buddy - your going to need it.

First, learn to spell you twit--get a GED,
and what does a thumb sucker like you know about maturity.
You've got to know that all of us have seen thousands of
over rated jokers like you. Our expensive cars go into the
dealer shop, and you wanna be mechanic punks start your
hit and miss guessing, replacing parts on our ticket until
by accident you stumble across something that might work.
You take your little courses, get your little MB certificates,
and then you guess away at what might be the problem
with our cars. You're an ice cream scooper with
phony skills that thinks he's a mechanic, and you
call yourselves "techs"--what a pompous air headed
effort at credibility. Forums are so that we can
avoid "Take it to the shop" MB hacks like you.
Take it to the shop. What a dope.

Wow man- just wow- :lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2: what climbed up your butt?





Oh btw is your car running yet --genuis???????????????????????:lol::lol::lol:


No - most likey not- your are too busy belittling people you have never meet or know any thing about! :shakehead

Get a life man.:screwy:




Your just mad because you werent paying attention and ran over a concrete block!!!!! lol

And you call me a hack and air headed!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I am going to laugh when it finally gets hauled off to a shop to be repaired correctly.

Oh no, Put-it-in-the-shop-Pinhead is soiling his panties,
in public. And that double, triple, maybe quadruple spacing
is so manly. My word, you must really be a mean little hair pulling sister

This is too good. Pinhead, my car runs like a top.
So what little tin thing does Put-it-in-the-shop-Pinhead drive?
I mean after all, with all of those little MB training certificates,
you must parade around like a little toy soldier, festooned
with cutesy phony credentials, meaning nothing, while you guess
away in the shop. Maybe this, maybe that, just keep pulling
parts until something works. Maybe when you grow up you can
become a mechanic, but I think not. You have to be a man
to do that, and Put-it-in-the-shop-Pinhead is just another
MB phony. But, you are an insulting little t_urd.
That you are.

PS. I would bet that you do drive some wormy little piece of late-payments c_rap, in keeping with your character.

Why are you so bitter??
You really crack me up!!! You have to resort to childish name calling to make yourelf feel important.:lol:








I can put as many spaces as I want .:p
Hmmmm you never stated what the fix was , so your most likely lieing- If some loser like you were able to figure it out , you would be struting around proud as a peacock posting to the whole world your greatness. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
I call b.s.:smokin:

Hey twit, quit crying.
Dab your little eyes with your petticoat.
After all, you're a great big MB Put it in the shop tech.
Brace up, nitwit, you've got all your certificates to comfort you.
And, oh my, you're spacing again.
What a little man you are, you big bad spacer, you.
A put it in the shop pre-GED nitwit.
That's what forums are for,
to put it in the shop.
Right nitwit.

PS. You are an insulting little t_urd.

HAHAHAHAHAHHA
Boy- are you predictable!!
A whole post on slamming the M.B. tech !!:lol::lol:
Is that all you are capible of?
You need some serious help there brother.
I thought you were a great supporter of forums. Every one shareing there info?
Again I ask...What was the fix?
Oh- oh wait... I know , you for got to turn the key all the way. Oh-oh I know.. you ran it out of gas.
Looking at some of your other posts ,I see your level of maturity and mental capibilities.

"Uhhhh... why does my my info screen say remove key? Uhhhhhhhhhhh"

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::r ofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rof l::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Most likely it was something stupid that was wrong with the car and that is the reason you are not shareing with the rest of the world Is you dont want to be exposed to the world for what you really are. A wanta-be

Dont be a hater!!

Dummy, forums are not for take-it-to-the-shop pinheads like you.
You're a phony MB monkey that's trying her best to impress the boys.
And when you get outed, you become a screaming hair pulling fruitcake.
You place is prancing around in the shop, flashing your petticoats,
not on a forum where folks need real advice.
You are an insulting little t_urd.

And still you avoid the question!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
And who has been doing the insulting??
I would say that would have to be you there buddy.
That seems to be ALL you have the ability to do.

AGAIN what was the fix on your car genius?
Come on help the forum out! Since you say I dont , step up to the plate!:lol:

Instead of telling him to take it to the shop you should have started with,.. connect your SDS, perform quick test, look at actual values in EIS, ESM, and ETC for start authorization and start enable information. After he couldn't figure that out, then you could tell him to take it to a shop so that they could charge him $200.00 to adjust his transmission shift linkage after he hit the curb.

I appreciate your posting. But really- look closely at the UNEDITED posting I first gave to him- " You need to take it to a m.b. shop to have it scanned"
NO Sir- HIS responce should have been--"I dont need to take it to a shop because I have the capibilities to scan it. Here are the codes...."
THEN we could have had a grown up discusson on what to do to get his car running....
But instead, we get a whining child like rant on how EVERY Mercedes Benz tech is a crook,hack, incompitent ,etc, etc......
For real, Is that what your tring to defend?

Hey, take-it-to-the-shop MB phony,
are you still fluttering your petticoats
dishing out your light weight pin head advice ?

And your flaky "appreciate" comment.
You don't appreciate anything.
You don't even know what forums are about.
You puny twit.

Why do you resort name calling ?
Do you realize how childish this makes you sound???
Does it make you feel better?
Is there alot of frustration in your life ?
There must be- But I am a big boy and I can handle it.
I know the truth.
From the start I have explained why I gave the recommendation I gave to take it to get it scanned.
AGAIN-YOU gave no indication you had the ability to do this.
But - you continue your chidish rant .
Stereotyping every m.b. mechanic as incompetent is absurd.

If it makes you feel better and is an out let for you to vent frustration- go ahead- I am a big boy I can handle it.

What a riot.
Now the put-it-in-the-shop twit
is a big bad boy.
You clown.
This is better than TV.

Yes, I am a big boy. This apparently gets under your skin.
I do know what a forum is for... I dont think you do.
I have helped tons of people out with things on several different types of forums.
You are using it as a place to vent your frustration and practice insulting.

Btw - there are a lot of things in life I appreciate.:smile:

I must say that Mr. Vectortech is 100% correct on this post. Panchoz3 needs to suck it up and take good advise when it is available.

Now there are two of you lightweights on this posting,
and your both brim full of take it to the shop advice.
A duo of big bad take it to the shop panty boys.

Unbelievable :shakehead
How do you function in life if all you can do is call people names?
Alot of anger and bitterness inside you-
Its ok...Take a breath... step back... Its over Pancho... no need to dig your hole deeper.

Just a simple suggestion from 45 years in the autobody buss. I don't know about MB's or any of the tech. and mechanical. I once had a GM that wouldn't start after a good jolt, or worse. The problem was simply a reset switch in the trunk that shut off the gas in case the car was damaged bad enough to rupture a fuelline. A safety feature. Look in there and see if you see an access door that might be concealing a reset . If that is too ignorant of me to suggest, I would then suspect the trans linkage might have gotten sweeked. Nutral switch knocked out of adjustment. It may have started shortly with whatever pressure was left in the fuellines, and bled out in the evening. Sorry, just an uneducated guess.

Yahway, thanks for offering real help, but I repaired my car quite a while ago, without the phony take-it-to-the-shop advice offered by the prancing MB twit in this topic.

Hey, MB twit, it's quite entertaining, though pathetic, to watch you pixie dance around your hair brained take it to the shop advice. It's almost like teasing a stupid animal, except, I like animals, and you make them look like Rhodes scholars. Oh, I forgot, you've got your little MB certs., and your a big, bad boy now.

Yea- Nice try there poncho - You think your smart?
You are one messed up person.
This is how you you prove someone else is wrong???
You have to invent some one??
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::r ofl::rofl:
You have to invent some one to "back" you up?
You have to invent some one to be on your "side"?
You have to INVENT some one to make you look good and prove your "point"! ( well thats a mistake- you have been totally pointless through this entire thread.)
Man you have serious issues!!!!
Give it up man-
Every one sees right through you!:shakehead

Hey take it to the shop fruitcake, shake some of that pixie dust out of your pea size brain pan. What a total dope. And you're the type of MB dumbsh_it that works on our cars ? You can't be more stupid. What a pathetic pin head.

Yawn....this is getting old!
You might as well doing :

-right click
-select all
-copy
-paste

The passage of time does not keep you from being a dumba_ss.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Give it up pancho....
you lose...
Dont worry, I will not be posting any more as I see how important to you to get the "last word" in to prove your " intelligence"..:lol::lol::lol:
I am sure your final post will be full of bitterness and anger.
I am sure it will make you feel like you've accomplished something.:shakehead

Enjoy your childish existence.........:loser:

Stay off the forum you put-it-in-the-shop twit.
Forums are for real advice, from real mechanics.
No place for a pea brained phony.
What a fairy.
