Keyless Go is now NO GO

My 2006 CLS55 has been sitting in the driveway (with the battery charging) for a few months after buying it, so I have not had a chance to use the Keyless Go much (especially since this is my first car with such a function and I haven't yet gotten used to it). I've more or less opened the doors by pressing the button on the remote.

However, today I noticed that the Keyless Go does not work with the driver's door. When I lock the car from the door handle of any door, the car locks as it should. When I pull the handle on every other door except the driver's door, the doors unlock and the door opens. Only on the driver's door nothing happens when I pull the handle.

About a month ago my battery got fully drained and I had to open the driver's door manually with the "old-fashioned" key that is stored in the remote. After that, I've left the battery on at trickle charger and the battery has functioned well without problems.

Could the once-drained battery have caused this? Or could the function be disabled for the driver's door? Or is Keyless Go (sensor?) simply broken for the said door? Any tips, help etc. appreciated, thank you in advance!

Same thing happened to me (same door even). Took it to the dealer and they had to replace the entire door handle. Happened to a friend of mine as well (same car and same door). They had to replace the door handle also. If you still have a warranty then it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the information. I guess I will have to take it to the dealer for repair. I do have the German Daimler AG/Mercedes-Benz Gebrauchtwagengaranti (Used Car Warranty), so hopefully it will cover the repair.
