Hi chaps - I've seen several posts on this subject but none for R230. A couple of days back when I got out the car the dash warning light came on telling me to check the door - it seemed to get itself in a state of complete confusion, dropping windows when I tried to open with the remote fob, but mild dementia on occasions seems par for the course with this model.
Next day, no warnings, all seemed fine except the driver's door lock button does nothing. The one on the passenger door closes all, unlock fine on both doors & boot.
Visitied local MB dealer this morning for some light relief - the service guy has incredible remote diagnostic powers - didn't need to get out of his seat, didn't even even let me finish & quoted north of £300 to fix (usual main dealer approach - replace units, don't under any circumstances try to repair).
My question - is this likely to be simple electric switch failure / broken wire & if so, any pointers where to start & work back very much appreciated.
