Hi,
I have just bought a 97 C180 Sport. I am not sure if it is something I am doing wrong, or if there could be a problem with my alarm - or, in fact, there is no problem at all and I am just imagining things
My alarm activates off a key fob, and according to the book (it is genuine Mercedes fitted alarm), the led in the mirror should continue to flash to indicate that the alarm is activated. It also suggests that the led in the lock, the mirror and the indicators and horn would temporarily work to show that the alarm is set.
The leds in the mirror and door handle flash for a few seconds when I press the key fob, but then go out. The indicators don't flash or the horn doesn't sound. After this, there are no visible leds inside the car to indicate the alarm has been activated.
Do you think there is a problem with the alarm, or am I not activating it correctly.
Thanks in advance,
Gary
