Hi folks, signed up years ago when I had a c220 cdi. recently purchased an a140 for my wife to run around in and its a brilliant wee motor except for this 1 weird problem...
In the merc, if after you unlock the car, and you do not open a door within 15seconds (i think) it re-locks itself and arms the alarm. If I open the passenger door it doesn't seem to recognise it and locks/arms itself again. Similarly opening the passenger door does not activate the interior lights.
The door locks and unlocks fine tho which is whats puzzling me.
I've checked (but not replaced) the little door switch in the door shut and its physically operating fine but I haven't opened anything up yet till I know what to look for.
So, any help in what might be the cause?
It's led to the keys being locking in the car twice now at a cost of £70 then £60 to retrieve them from a locksmiths. (We have no spare key.)
