Hi Everyone,
I have a 1996 SL500 R129.
My remote locking/alarm arm, disarm has suddenly stopped working.
I unlocked my car this morning, and started it up as usual. I then turned it off and went to to lock it but it wouldn't lock. The immobiliser has armed now and I can't start the car.
I've tried two remotes.
I've checked the remotes are working by looking at them through my phone camera (I can see the light come on when I press the button).
I've tried the lock reset procedure in the manual (point remote at mirror, press button twice then turn ignition to position 2).
Nothing works.
What I do notice is that when I turn the key to position 2, the red light in the mirror flashes (about once per second).
When I try to start the engine, the red and green light DON'T flash. I would normally expect them to flash.
Has my immobiliser/alarm given up the ghost?
Can anyone help? I'm going to go and buy some new batteries but I don't think that's the problem.
Thanks,
Lee
