Hi,
If the key/fob is specifically for your car and has packed up working it may need a resynch and/or new batteries but if the key was bought from someone, other than MB with hope of reprogramming it i,m afraid your out of luck, as this type of key is specific to your particular car.
New their approx. £60-£70.

Does the red LED light work if you press & hold the button? If not, you have either fitted new batteries wrong or the key is faulty.

firstly hold the remote with the little red window pointing towards you, press the button on the remote for and little more than a second and a red led should iluminate to tell you that at least the battery is ok.
to syncronise the key you have to press the button and point to the reciever which could be in the door handle or interior mirror, then with in 30 seconds turn the ignition to position 2, if the process has worked the green lamp will flash. easy as that!:smile:

Hi, I am new to this forum and have a similar problem. Thought that this was an appropriate thread to post my question.

C180 1996 202
Single button flick keys
Both keys still start the vehicle, but both does not want to program to be used with central locking
About a year ago the 1st key did not want to program and today the 2nd key has a problem
Both keys are original
One key has new batteries
Red LED lights on both keys after about a second
Receiver is in mirror

According to the owners manual I should press the button once and within 30sec turn the ignition to position 2. I tried this many times. I also tried to press the button twice before inserting it in the ignition. I pressed and held the button in while turning the ignition on. Nothing works.

Any help will be appreciated.

Is it the same for close range when you point the key at the sensor in the door handle

 

[Camping]

Just tried it. Unfortunately still no joy.

Does the keys work with an IR or radio type signal?

 

[television]

Both IR close, and RF for long range.

Have you looked in the DIY section where fixing some key faults is explained

 

[Camping]

I think the keys may be faulty. If I point them towards my Hi-Fi receiver that gives a LED indication when an IR signal is received and it only blinks once when the key itself flashes the red LED. Therefore I suspect the IR signal.

I also found this fault code "020 Driver door actuator S47 no ground" that may relate to the fault. Will try a few things and let you know.

Thanks for your help so far.
