C240 2001 Key Fob Issues

Hello, I’m having issue with my key fobs. One I used daily has stopped working won’t turn over ignition. I’ve moved wheel left right but nothing.
I tried spare key fob and it worked. Was excited till I started driving and nothing worked no Speedo, no windows, no radio, no blinkers nothing just driving blind (((
called RACV they tested battery and said it’s fine, when they started car with key fob spare everything worked fine for them.
called a few mechanics all had different possibilities from SAM to fuse to new key fob!
I’m confused what’s happening, anyone experienced this before?

Your problem is the key itself.
find a merc specialist to help you. Or just order a new key
Good luck
