Hello

I have a problem with my Mercedes Benz E320 cdi avntgard estate 2004.
I changed my battery My car was locked.
I opened the door with the key
Took down the folding rear seat ,opened boot
Installed the new battery Now my tailgate will not lock it's self .
I press the tailgate button it closes but not locking itself.
It has soft shut so it should lock itself
So annoying cannot find a garage in the area to take a look at my vehicle And I can't find a thing online
So bleep bleep when I'm driving

Try this.

With the boot open.

Close the boot catch in the boot lid wth a small screwdriver and see if the warning goes off.

If it does the problem doesn't lie in the boot catch. If it feels stiff spray some wd40 in the mechanism.
