Sorry for the red highlight, I copied this from an old forum and the search engine came out like this. Anyway, here is the problem:
The boot red light switch is always on, therefore doesn't work ( have check with another console as I thought it might be the problem but it was the same)
I can open the central locking from the inside switch but it doesn't work on closing( work well with the remote)
The tow bar switch is non operational, not blinking or what ever ( the sound system blink when I remove the anti theif facia though, will those be connected and the connection made wrong?)
The alarm not working
There are no blinking light when I close the car with the remote
All those must be related, as if the brain of the car think a lock is faulty(the boot) is will not engage the alarm
I have look at the wire going down the boot lid,it's fine
I have changed the switch in the barrel(keys) of ther boot
I did the battery removal for few minutes and check the light switch on the boot, it's all clear there,
It's really ODD. There is one thing that I am thinking of is about the radio as the one I have as been put in by the old owner and I wonder if this will interact with the whole thingy?
I had an OB from mercedes done and it mention on a stored area that the siren is not coded or faulty? See pictures
The rep at mercedes doen't know what to say about this problem and warn me that it might take them a long time to retreive the problem and this will be a big bill.
Any one as any idea? It's really puzzling me? And bother me as well... This as been going on since I got the car and Ilooked everywhere I could for 2 month, then give up, but now I'm bak on it again...
Thank you. Olivier
