The indicator lightsno longer flash 3 times on our W169 A170 when you use the remote keyfob to lock the car. They still flash once when unlocking.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to re-activate the 3 flashes when the car is locked or is it another trip to the dealer?

Cheers
 
You may find that one of the doors has not been shut properly - does that on my B Class occasionally, and this seems to be the problem (check the tailgate too ...)

The alarm is not arming even though the doors are locking. This probably one of the doors is not shut properly (tailgate etc), or one of the sensors is fautlty.
 
Cheers guys,

The tailgate wasnt shut properly! (I blame the missus as she was the last one to use the car :) )
