Evening all. Big problem

[Bubba]

Girlfriend just spilt milkshake on and around my gear selector. Lots of lights flashing and car would not start. I pulled the top off exposing a circuit board and there was a little fluid in there so I dabbed that off and the car started.

Can't select and hears now and the engine management light is on.

HELP!!! [emoji30]

Is it a W208, if so this thread from another place may be informative:gear shift problem from water spill!! - MBWorld.org Forums

Women and cars often don't mix very well.

Well kicked her out! Used the screwdriver trick to select drive and tickled home stuck in 1st gear. Cleared the fault codes and it now selects gears but the display is blank, no reverse lamps and still only 1st gear in drive [emoji17]. Is there a thread on removing the selector ? I will do that and see if I can clean/dry it.

Come on moderators, do something about these ridiculous comments which are highly insulting to women. I'm sure they don't represent the majority of people who contribute to this otherwise excellent forum.

If you spill red wine, then white wine is supposed to to remove the stains.

If it was a strawberry milkshake you could get your 'girlfriend' to try spilling vanilla over it.

What I want to know is what were you doing to make her spill her milkshake

 

[Bubba]

Well it's out cleaned and dried, now ready to refit....

Don't worry about it. Somewhere, elsewhere in the world. There is a group of women slagging men off and making equally insulting remarks about men. It's life's big circle. We're in 2015

Hi,
Looking at your photo I would assume the liquid has shorted out a, or some electronic components and blown them. I would imagine cheapest way forwards is a breakers yard for a new circuit board, unless you want to fault find and test each component individually.

Thanks toolman, I am on the search as we speak. I have found some on eBay from a w210 with the same set up but a different outer casing. I'm wondering if I could make it fit using my casing..
