alarm

Hi all Hoping someone might recognise this issue and be good enough to give me a little advice. Today I parked my 1996 C200 in town and locked up using the infrared remote. On returning, the car would not start. I used the remote key to lock and unlock the doors from inside and tried starting...

I'm having some trouble with the factory alarm in my Mercedes. The alarm doesn't seem to arm when I lock the car using the remote, I can see where the flashing indicator is supposed to be but at no point does it seem to flash. I've tried waiting 15 seconds after locking my car using the remote...

Car is in at Mercedes today and they've rung to say the Alarm siren has come up faulty on the system. They've also 'tested' it and it didn't sound... Quoted a crazy 383.70 to replace it. Anyone saw this part go on the model before? Also had another door LED fail. :( (6th LED to fail on the car...

Hi there, New to the forum, and looking for a bit of advice on electric Vito/Viano doors if anyone experienced similar? I've searched around but not found an obvious solution. Our Viano goes through stages where the alarm goes off every few days, totally unprovoked. We seem to have narrowed it...

Hello, I’ve just joined the group. My partner and I have just bought on ex DHL van and he’s mid campervan conversion. Question, I can’t seem to locate the buttons on the overhead dash (according to the manual we have) to turn off the tow away and interior sensor which might kick in the alarm...

The alarm on my wife's SLK has gone off unprompted twice in the last couple of days. Is there anything I should check? Or do we need the dealer to check it out? We're about to go on holiday and don't want to infuriate the neighbours while we're gone. No windows/doors left open/ajar. Any ideas?

I always switch my key off after I come back home every evening. Today morning I get out of the house pull the door handle and get in the car and moments later I realise i haven't unlocked it (It is not uncommon for me to forget that my key is off in the morning and pull the door). Mirrors are...

I have recently had my 2003 SL500 hooked up to STAR. Amongst other things, it has identified a current and stored fault which is 'Fault Code B1341 - Fault in communication with component H3 (alarm signal horn)'. Can anyone please throw light on how I may get this rectified whilst avoiding the...

Hi, on my 1998 SL500 I'm having problems with the alarm. Last Sunday I unlocked with the remote, opened door, climbed in, but when I started the engine the alarm went off. Yesterday after setting the alarm with all doors/windows/bonnet/boot/hood closed the siren started beeping (less than one...

I left the SLK to stand for about a year, when I came back and charged the car up, I noticed that the indicators continually flashed until I put the key on the ignition and turned to position 2 Everything work fine when the car was put away, stored in a dry garage. Opened up the alarm...

Hey guys. So a month or so back I was removing the exhaust manifold off of my CLK 200 Kompressor to get it welded. When I installed everything back the car started fine. I went inside the house to get changed, went back out 10 minutes later and car wouldn't start! All lights came on dash but...

Hi there. Im a long term merc user thats never really had an issue with his car, a Merc C270 CDI Avantgarde with sports pack, 2003 (53) . Never posted on this forum or even visted much so I apologise in advance for jumping on asking for stuff! I have a major electrical issue as the car has...

After issue after issue I'm now wondering whether my CL600 is one of those bad luck cars. With the ongoing issue of the leaking roof, this morning I was presented with the latest issue. As I went out to my car I noticed the door locks were up, and then as I looked inside there were receipts all...

Hi, I have just noticed that the Ferry company says that I should turn my car alarm off once the car is onboard. Is that possible?

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...

Okay... well - I have had this issue since I owned the car but I am slowly starting to have enough of it... The car will sometimes (more often than not) require me to lock it twice - after the first lock signal it will close, but the orange lights will blink like the alarm went off. No sound...

This is my first post on this forum so apologies if I haven't done everything quite right. I have a 2009 Mercedes C200 estate, W204 I believe, which has developed a false alarm issue. I've read lots of posts here and other forums regarding this issue, most of them pointing the finger of...

Can anyone help? I have an A170 cdi auto, 51 plate, W168 and the alarm has started going off after I have driven a 10/20 metres or so, the only way to stop this is to switch the car off, take the key out of the ignition and then press to "open" car. Start car back up again, apologise to other...
