Hi all I have a 97 w202 c200 auto. I haven't owned the car all that long and it has super low mileage.
When I first got the car, I noticed that the alarm didn't function at all. That ended up being the fuse in the boot which is now replaced and the alarm now functions when opening a door if it's locked!
The issue I'm left with is puzzling me so I am kind of hoping that you guys can help!
The first issue is that the red led in the rear view mirror doesn't light up. Even when you open the door and press and hold the unlock side of the panic lock button (the manual method to deactivate interior protection)... the green light works when process is repeated!
The car has ultrasonic sensors inside on the A pillars and the passenger side one has a red led (doesn't light when system is armed).... I had to remove nasty tape residue and bluetack from these when purchased!
It has a touch key port (which I am not going to state where) and this also seems to do nothing also!
Is it possible that someone has unplugged something or is it more likely to be something that needs to be replaced??
As I said earlier in the post... the alarm functions in every way that it should except for the interior protection and red led in the mirror!
What the heck am I missing??? Please help.
Thanks guys in advance
