My 2003 CL600 trunk wont open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So i took the CL to work today and just got home from work.

I go to pop the trunk and nada!

I can hear a solenoid click but nothing.

So i go to my $300 new key fob i purchased from the dealer and try to take out the safety key which i think is for this purpose. The little plastic slider that releases that key breaks off like it was madeof............uhh...........cheap plastic!

I finally find a way to get the key out and insert it into the lock in the trunk. This just allows you to operate yet another electrical switch and nadda!!!!!!!!!

This seems idiotic. It should operate a mechanical mechanism for this very issue with a faulty electrical component.

To top it all off i realize my cell phone,wallet,license,etc. is locked in the darn trunk &^&%$%^$&(@&*&&$@%*()(*^&$

You just gotta love Mercedes Quality ;-)

Any ideas??

So before i post here i try to look at the fuses. There are 4 locations where there are seperate fuse blocks. All have zero info or fuse mapping. I go to the manual and it has ziltch!!,,,,,,,Nada!!!!
Oh.... but the manual tells me there is a "Fuse Chart" in with the tool kit.

Guess where???

I got it open with the mini key..........whew!!!!!!!!

The auto close works fine but either of my two electronic keys will not open. I hear the mechanism activating but the latch will not release and lift .

Does anyone no where the fuse is or a relay for this??

Previous owner stole the tool kit that has the fuse chart.

Does anyone have a link to a "Fuse Chart" for 03 CL600?

On my 2003 CL500 the "Remote Tailgate Closing" fuse is located in the trunk, on the right side- #40-40amp. Your CL600 may/may not be the same.

Couldn't find any fuses at all in my trunk.

Where is yours located exactly?...near the battery on the right hand side?

On another not when i activate the key fob i can hear air leaking from the trunk latch module.

Has anyone else had this issue?
