In this Marcus DIY video, I repair the electronic shifter module of my Mercedes-Benz C220 CDI (W203) after the gears got stuck between Neutral (N) and Drive (D) — a common issue in these models.
Instead of replacing the whole unit, I baked the shifter module in the oven at 200°C (392°F) for 8 minutes. After putting it back and doing a test drive, everything worked perfectly. It's now been over a month of daily driving without any more problems!
If you're experiencing gear selection issues in your Mercedes, this DIY oven trick might just save you time and money.
⚠️ Warning: This is an experimental DIY fix. Do this at your own risk.
