central locking

Hi all, been signed up for a while and trying to educate myself about my car. W124 1995 E200, all running fairly smoothly, 170k, quite a bit thirstier than my previous E220 unfortunately but that's not the priority issue. The central locking and window electrics have suddenly gone nuts: started...

Hi Everyone. I have a recently developed fault which I hope you can help with. When trying to lock the ML, or when the ML tries to safety lock the doors when moving off, all the doors lock successfully except the drivers door. It seems to try and lock, then unlock, retry, unlock then stop...

My 1996 E320 Cabriolet has developed an issue where, having unlocked the doors with either the remote or key, the doors re-lock themselves after a short period. My local independent has checked the vacuum pump and hoses and can't find a leak. I'm wondering if a faulty door/boot/fuel cap...

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping there are people on here who have an idea on the current issues I'm having with my C200 Coupe. The problem (or problems!) have been ongoing for a while. The first issue was that on occasion the car would appear to be empty of fuel and the central locking and...

Hi Guys, I am having issues with my central locking (W163 1998), it worked intermittently and has in the past 2 day given up completely. I am able to use the centre console button to lock and unlock the car and I can open the car with the key. I have put new batteries in the fob and having...

I have a lovely old SLK 32AMG (R170) Does anyone know how to get into the car (or open the bonnet) when the battery is flat? The car has been laid up on a SORN since November, has been run every month, but otherwise untouched. Previous lay-ups have been in a garage with battery on trickle, but...

Hi, I'm new to this forum so please be nice! I'll run through the situation I have with my car... I left work and central locking worked fine, when I got home and tried to lock my car it wouldn't work. I've had someone out (key specialist) who has tested both my keys and they are working...

I have an issue with my 1997 c180 w202. The central locking stopped working the other day. I can unlock and lock via the inside button so the vacuum still works but when I try unlock with the key it doesnt work. The lights on the review mirror dont flash either. I have disconnected...

I have w210 -98 Mercedes e-class car which has this really annoying problem with door locks and interior front light. Intermittently central locking stop working remotely from the key. Key is sending signal but the doors won't lock or unlock. When I open the driver door manually also the...

Hi - I can't find anyone with this exact same problem, so wonder if anyone can help. I have a 1995 C180 w202. It uses the IR only, single button remote keyfob. When I bought it it had a brand new keyfob which has now stopped operating the central locking, but will start the car. Fortunately...

Hi All, I just drove down to Winchester to Rescue my Little Sister and am having a nightmare with my dear old C180 Espirit. The one button Key fob will no longer open the car and so the immobiliser is on. The lights on the Rear view mirror do not seem to be working but in truth I am unsure as...

Appear to have got my alarm working on my viano (hazards flashing) although its not making a noise. I suspect whoever had the car before me may have disconnected the siren to stop the annoyance. Anyone know where the siren is located so I can see if the wires are ok? Manythanks

Hi, The passenger door on my CLK 240 doesn't open from the outside even though the lock is in the "up" position. Before i take the door panel off and look at the mechanism is there a known fault that would cause this ? (it opens fine from the inside handle?

Hi! :) I'm new to this forum. I'll probably be here quite a lot now that my CD220 is around 8 years old and I'm not getting any richer lol. I've got a strange problem with one of my smart keys and was wondering if someone here has experienced this issue, or who knows of it, and perhaps...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and also a 1st time Mercedes owner, so sorry if this has been repeated before. My car is a 2006 A180. I have noticed that when I lock the car with the central locking fob the interior buttons all go down and all the doors except the driver's door actually fully...

Greeting all, I am a new member to the forum as I have recently bought a 91 230e w123 auto which my wife and I are extremely happy with. The day after buying her, we changed the tires and drove 900km to Mozambiqe without incident, 6 months there and the return trip. There are only a few issues...

Central locking and soft close boot working intermittently. Have tried usual removal of PSE pump, unit seems dry, checked and replaced fuses etc. If I unplug and reconnect the PSE pump I can get the system to work for a few days, and then fails again. Replacement pump time? I don't really...

My central locking is not working as it should. The front half of the vehicle locks and unlocks no problem. The back half however will not lock unless I leave it for five minutes. Locks fine once, then fails to lock again until i leave it for another five minutes Changed battery in the...

Hi Folks, I'd appreciate some advice on a fault with the alarm on my 97 P reg pre-facelift W202. Yesterday evening the alarm on my car started going off seemingly at random. It started immediately after I arrived home from work and then whenever I relocked the car with the key fob the...
