2004 ML 350 (W163) Drivers Door Not C/Locking

[MilleMigliaDave]

Hi, the drivers door on my '04 W163 ML350 has suddenly stopped working from the remote, also wont lock from the console button and doesn't lock when moving off. I can lock and unlock with the key and central lock the other three doors and tailgate.

I see there's a great deal of info on lock faults but most refer to the 'bounce' or 'machine gun' fault that can be repaired with a small spring. Mine is not showing this problem, the lock just does nothing.

I will take it to PCS if necessary as I am in Hampshire and they are highly recommended - however I thought it worth a quick post to see if there's anything simple I can try/examine/test before handing the car and my credit card over....

Thanks, Dave
