Drivers touch outside lock problem
When I go to unlock my car using the handle it never seems to unlock. When I get out and lock it it always works. I've searched and found a few people change the handles. I can't find a list of all part #'s that will be needed. Will I need to get it programmed to my key?

those keyless go handles are notorious for failing as water gets inside of the assembly as your car gets older. You will not have to program a new handle to your key as the handle is hardwired to the car (i.e. plug in a new handle and it will work). I would not recommend trying to do this yourself on the CLS, it is not as easy as the E class, for which there is already a DIY on these boards. I had my driver's side handle replaced by the dealer for exactly the same reason, cost a lot though
