Hello, I’m Pete from the Car Genius team at RepairPal. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this concern on your 2012 Mercedes Benz C300. Based on the information provided it sounds like some aftermarket wiring and a control or switch was installed to allow the engine to start and run. With the complex computerized systems Mercedes vehicles use the no start concern can be tied to the aftermarket parts installed or other possible causes like a faulty electronic ignition switch, electronic steering lock failure (very common), an internal computer concern, wiring issues, or many other possible causes. With how complex this vehicle is the best thing to do is to have your vehicle checked over by a reputable shop that has experience working with the Mercedes model vehicles. This way the no start concern can be pinpointed and repaired properly. If you’d like to find a trusted, certified repair shop in your area, you can check here: https://repairpal.com/certified.
