Question SLK32 car start problem

Hi fellow forum members!

I have a problem with a 2003 SLK32 AMG. As I go to the car, the remote is unresponsive. When I open it with the key, this is what happens when I attempt to start the car:


Any tips or ideas about what is going on here would be greatly appreciated

it would seem your key is not being recognized. The fault is likely in the key since both your RF connection to the car (ability to lock/unlock with remote) and the transponder (coil around ignition switch that recognizes key) seem to be non-functional.

Have you tried the other key ? I don't recall ever having this problem, but if I did I would.

try the other key

if you dont have one,
change battery in "bad" key
and/or consult the owners handbook for re-familiarizing your key (some routine that includes pushing one of the buttons while the key is inserted and turned to a certain position comes to mind)

good luck,
Chris
