Any*

Other than checking all your fuses, how are we supposed how you wired this CD player.

Westside_benz

The cd player works fine no problem. I just plugged in the harness no splicing

Maj. Dundee

And what about the fuses?

Westside_benz

They are fine

Maj. Dundee

Then you have to disconnect what you installed and see if things return.

The stock is tape deck with 3 slots pluged in the back but the harness that people sell only has two plus RCA's is that normal?

Remove your CD player & unplug the new harness & see if the remote & alarm are back.
Doesn't matter what people sell. You have to figure out if removing the harness fixes your problem. If it does fix your problem then the issue is with the new harness.

Ok i will try, if that works where can i get a good harness

art_arev

Try first & see if everything works. After that you can think of the new harness.

You know, people say they check all their fuses, but I don't believe them: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w163...l#post11393090

It's nothing personal.

Ok im going to pop the hood and check them again in the AM

Westside_benz

Popped the hood checked every fuse and ALL are good, also noticed theres a cd changer, so that s what the other part of the harness to factory radio went to....still no alarm

Westside_benz

tried the lock button five times trick and nothing also

Westside_benz

Ideas?

DrX

The alarm and remote locking are both functions of the AAM.

Please tell us which of the following features are working or not working;

• Central locking button on the center console (window switch group)
• A/C fan
• Windows auto up/down
• Interior lights auto on/off (with door opening/closing)
• Intermittent wipers

Westside_benz

All of those work

DrX

Buy some fresh batteries for your remote fob. CR2025.

Westside_benz

That was the first thing i did sir

DrX

And the fob hasn't worked since? Are the batteries correctly oriented? Are the contacts clean and not corroded or fouled with battery fluid? Does the side contact make good contact with the top battery? What is the build date of your ML (mm/yy)? For early MY1998, the remote fob synch procedure is different.
