- 1997 E230 Elegance
Hi guys,
Just bought a 1997 E230 Elegance
It's got a few wee things that need sorted out. It only came with the emergency key, the one with no buttons. My question is, when I unlock the drivers door with the metal key should the other doors unlock too?
I have noticed that once I am in the car I can open all the doors with the button on the dash but I can't lock them again. I can push the doorpins down and lock them manually though. I have tried the button with the drivers door open and closed.
The other thing that I have noticed is that if I set the dome lights to come on when a door is open then get out and lock the drivers door with the key the lights will not go off. I waited for a minute or two and they stayed on.
Am I right in thinking that the central locking will not lock if the car thinks a door is open?
