I was wondering if you changed that push button on the drivers side door handle, Just today mine stoped working, I'll call the dealer tomorrow but maybe you have done it already.If it's not too complicated I'll do it myself. Thanks!

believe it or not it just started working again ? I do have the procedure,I have all data and it explains how to do it,you have to change the whole handle its 200 plus dollars,thats with a dealer discount,

do you still have that info on replacing the keyless lock button on the door handle? The keyless lock on driver side outside door handle no longer locks the door. Please send me info to dchau1@yahoo.com

I removed the rubber knob from door handle, just pull it out (cl500), dismantle micro switch and clean the contacts, but it still doesn't work for me

you need to buy a new door handle.

NAJLEPSI

why can't I repair it? whats the broken part if is not the switch ??? my mechanic said they usually go to hell in approx 2 year, and I dont like to buy new door handles every 2 years :S

I also had to buy a new door handle.

there's a microswitch inside the door handle which is the one stop working.

i've took apart this microswitch and clean it, it's steel frame holding it on upper and downer side. I've tried to put contacts together with wire (inside switch) bot no sucess for me, it still doesnt work. I don't know if it's posible to take the handle apart (if it ain't sealed together in plastick).

I think its a capacitive discharge switch

Any of you guys know how big of a job it is to change the handle? Just wondering whether I can do it myself.

Rick SL55

quiete easy, just remove torx bolt hidden in the door weatherstrip, then pull the handle foward, disconnect the switches and just install the new door handle.

Does anyone still have the parts # .
And can the switch be purchase separately ?

My car would not lock from the drivers door handle .

I was looking into its rubber button and curiously I pried it open from the top and it opened using my finger nail and thereby exposing years of added polish , wax , soap ...

Swabbed it out with a Q-tip saturated with acetone and sanded the contacts .

Now that's what I talking about Simple cleaning vs. a few hundred dollar fix .

My rubber "cover" doesn't seem to want to stay put (after removing). I was going to liberally soak with electric contact cleaner. There seems to be a covered button/microswitch that is the contactor.
Neither side works (but all the other locking mechanisms work, and touching the handle unlocks) on my 2004 SL55...is there a fuse or some other troubleshooting I should look at first as my switches (both sides) looks clean/good.

did you find a solution for this? mine just popped off and now won't stay on either. everything works, so don't want to buy another handle just for this button.
