Notify me when its in stockThe Chrysler–Jeep–Dodge–Fiat Steering Lock Emulator is designed to replace the OEM ESL/ELV steering column lock unit used in multiple FCA group vehicles. Steering lock failure is one of the most common reasons for no-start conditions even when the key, immobilizer, and ignition system are working correctly.
This emulator bypasses the defective steering lock module and restores normal start authorization immediately. No programming is required—simply connect and start the vehicle.
Manufactured by MK3, this unit features high-quality circuitry, precise OEM-style lock sound, durable connectors, and reliable performance across a wide range of compatible models.
Steering lock failures often require dealerships to order and code a new ELV/ESL unit, which is costly and time-consuming. This emulator provides a fast, affordable, and permanent solution.

The OEM ESL/ELV steering lock contains mechanical and electronic components that commonly fail without warning. When the lock cannot engage properly:
The key is detected normally
The ignition turns on
The vehicle does not start because the steering lock does not authorize the start sequence
Dealership replacement requires purchasing a new steering lock + programming, which is expensive and involves long waiting times.
This emulator bypasses the failed steering lock entirely:
No coding required
No adaptation needed
Restores start authorization instantly
It can also be used for troubleshooting steering lock faults by plugging it into another vehicle without reprogramming.
Remove the original ELV/ESL connector from the steering lock.
Ensure the original steering lock is away from the vehicle if stuck in locked mode.
Plug the OEM connector into the MK3 emulator.
Insert the key and start the vehicle.
LED turns green when the system is ready and functioning.
