- 1985 380SL and 1997 SL320
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 years and cared for implicitly. The second is a recent purchase of a one owner 1997 SL 320. Its a beautiful senior lady owned specimen, with less than 100m miles, garaged everyday from its purchase, never seeing any ill weather.
Unfortunately I dropped the key (fob) last week and watched as it exploded on the walkway in front of me. I put it all back together properly and was very pleased to see that it worked immediately, operating the locks, the windows, everything electronic. Unfortunately when I turned the key over to start the car, the immobilizer has been engaged and I cannot start the engine! I would be so grateful if anyone out there can please tell me how to reinstate the key (fob) so that it can over-ride or re-establish itself with the immobilizer.
Any assistance at this point would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
Randall
