w211 boot problems

[parkscon]

Hi I have a 2004 w211 e320 cdi don't know if anyone else has had this problem but my key fob remote which opens the boot seems far too sensitive I only have my keys in my pocket and the boot lid opens its very common to look out and find the boot lid has been open all night does anyone know if this option can be disabled?.

I wonder if you have a worn key button, so that it is too easy to press ?

Have you tried comparing with the other key ?

Thanks

Perhaps the plastic button on the remote may be damaged in some way and is pressing on the micro switch underneath it?
To avoid this problem, you can lock the boot seperatley with the metal key blade, this will stop the boot being opened by the remote fob or by the switch inside the car… see User Manual.

Perhaps it's not the key at all.

Carefully make sure it isn't getting pressed and see if it happens. It has before and there are posts about this on this or other forums (sic).

Locking with key blade is just a temporary solution, you should really get to the bottom of why this accidental unlocking is happening.
