central locking

Hi all When opening the central locking on my 97 SL320 the doors unlock immediately but it takes a long time for the boot to unlock. Can hear the pump working and it does eventually unlock. So I'm not locked out, but this doesn't seem normal and I'm concerned the pump will eventually burn out...

Hi all, I posted this problem earlier on the end of an older post, but have had no bites, so I'm hoping that starting a new thread may be a better idea. Can anyone please advise on the possibility of immobiliser bypass or removal or swapping or any other options for W124s? I think that it may...

Hi all, I've seen similar threads where people have their rear window tinted & they eventually lose the ability to lock their car via RF, I have had the issue for several months now, I first checked the fuse 8 I think it was which was fine, changed the batteries on the key which didn't help...

Hi all, I am wondering if there is any way of getting around the irksome job of replacing antenna modulator ( located in the subframe of the tailgate, where the glass HAS to be removed to get at it.) I've looked at second hand tailgate, but, they have no guarantees, plus, need respray to match...

Hi all, right, I have replaced batteries several times now. Stripped down the circuit board in the key fob cleaned, and rebuilt. It only unlocks, if I hold end right over sensor in drivers door handle. A neighbours friend did a test, and apparently, my key is constantly transmitting, hence...

Hi, Just wondering if there’s anyone has had this problem with any SL’s ? I can only get into my car with the key, same for unlocking the boot. The lights flash when I depress the key for lock and unlock but nothing happens? Saw on-line about fuses in the storage compartment in the rear...
