Evening everyone

Have had a read through some old posts and possibly already know the answer but thought I would ask the question..... my ML500 has decided not to unlock with either of the remotes, both have been working fine,and there are a couple of other problems that is leading me towards a sick AAM unit, I have no green headlight on light on the dash and the radio sometimes is a bit hit and miss, does this sound like the AAM? If so can I have it star read to see if it's needs replacing and if so can I just swap it for one with the same part number without having coded?

Thanks in advance.

AAM?
Do you mean SAM?
The SAM is not involved in locking unlocking as far as I'm aware - I believe that's handled by the EIS.
I'd get the vehicle on STAR to read what error codes are stored rather than try and guess the cause.

I thought the AAM- all activity module was the unit that controlled the locking and unlocking plus other things, thus why I thought that might be the one at fault, but will run it down to the local Indy for a star read next weekend

Everyday a school day. It appears the ML is different to other MBs. I'd be very surprised if the AAM can be replaced without STAR. It's a security item so will almost certainly need dealer level access.
