key

My C200 CDI 2005 switches off immediately after turning the key to the second ignition position. All of the lights in the dash turn off and to turn the engine on you have to turn the key back and turn it to the third position really fast. The key recently had a battery change and it works...

Had a auto electrician look at my Mercedes today, Intermittent starting issue , assumed it was the Immobiliser which has only one key and was fitted by Main Dealer in 1997, alas that checked out all ok. We discovered that it was the key barrel , checked all terminals for loose connections and...

Hello, please help. I accidentally turned off my 1999 SL500 whilst it was in D. I shifted to P and got out of the car. I find that the car starts, but the shifter is stuck firmly in P. I also note that I can't remove the key from the ignition. Could this be because the car still thinks it's...

Hi! I bought a spare used key for my 2017 E-Class, and before I go to a local shop to pair it with my car, I was wondering if the LED on top of it should light up whenever I press a button on the key. I changed the battery too and it doesn't light up. Is the key defective or it won't light up...

Hi All. Hope everyone is well. I have a W220 S Class (S500) facelift and require a key fob, but it is slightly longer than the usual small 3 button black fob. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Or anyone selling one? Attached an online photo of the key that I require. Many thanks...

Hi everyone I dropped my key and it broke apart and snapped the infrared sender off the front of the pcb :-( tried soldering it on and it was barely usable to put back on as the pins were gone, anyway i purchased some spare keys to swap the ir over from one of them and it still wont send a...

Hi, First time posting. As mentioned above, neither of my key fobs are working (they were fine a couple of days ago). I have 2. I have tried replacing the batteries in one of the keys. Still no luck. The IR seems to be working (I can see a light through my camera and whilst temperamental...

Hey guys, my W211 remote keys works just fine when start engin, lock and unlock all doors. But when parking for an hour or more, the remote keys cannot open or lock doors. Remote red light still blinks, key fob batteries are good, but no respond from the doors. Need to take out small key to...

Hi Guys, I'm new here, first mercedes I've ever owned and I love it. I bought the car from a dealer who had it for sale cheap with no warranty. I took it for a drive and there is a couple of issues but the price was good. What I didn't realize is they key fob does not lock/unlock the car...

Sorry if this is a repeat thread but I've searched and can't find anything similar. I've just bought a 2013 E220 SE CDI S212. It only came with one key and I'm looking to get a spare. I believe main dealer prices are a bit steep, can anyone recommend an alternative and does the car have to go to...

Hello, This is my first post in the forums although I have been lurking for several weeks. I have a problem on my '06 W203 C-Class (180K saloon) regarding some weird locking issues and I hope that somebody else has had a similar problem to mine and been able to solve it. When I first...

Hi all you helpful lot. My CLK was completely dead this morning. I cannot open the doors even. I have tried the spare key. Clearly an electric or battery issue. Problem is I cannot get into the car. I have tried the Blade but it doesn't 'pop' the lock. The car is 13 years old and the lock has...

I am new to this site and hope that I am providing this information in the correct area. I am located in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. I am the very fortunate owner of 2 MB autos. The first is my 1985 380 SL of which my father was the original owner. The car has been in my hands now for many...

I have just acquired an SLK230 Kompressor automatic (1999) and although it runs really well, I cannot get the key out when I stop and turn everything off. I've checked it is in "Park", that the handbrake is on & the lights turned off; I have wiggled the steering wheel in case it has a "lock"...

Hi all I have a 2000 CLK 320 Auto Convertible that suddenly wouldn't start last week. I decided it might be a flat battery so I tried jump starting it from my wifes car. I DEFINITELY connected the jump leads red to red and black to black but after about 30 seconds the heavy duty jump leads...

Hi I've just got myself a SL55. One small problem is that the key only locks and unlocks the car when it is close to the handles using IR. MBS Southampton have said that the key is transmitting radio but the receiver amplifier on the car needs changing. Any idea where that is and the part...

Hi all I have a problem with my spare key It unlocks the doors& boot it Will not start the car unless I press lock with Key in ignition, then car will start but most instrument details are not operational I investigated and identified that a capacitor has been knocked off the key as per...

I own a Mercedes E240 year 2005 here in Kampala Uganda. These cars are wonderful but can be frustrating in Africa. I lost my fob/key last Christmas and got a new one programmed which worked fine for a few days. Please note the lost/ old one had a problem locking and unlocking doors without...

Guys, This may be one of the most remarkable questions asked on this forum but lets see the return. I have attached a picture of two key looking fobs that came with my Mercedes A class few years ago. I literally have no ****** idea of what these are? I welcome your suggestions.

Hello everyone, Thank you for the help offered so far, the advice has been invaluable. The travails of my (newly acquired) W reg CL500 continue... So today the fresh CR2025 batteries arrived and I have replaced the old ones in the key fobs. I now face an unusual problem. 1. Both...
