Flashing Fog Lights

Today, i noticed my fog lights flashing when i locked my car. It was flashing like the hazard lights for a few minutes then stopped. I thought it was weird and went back in the car started it again, shut if off, got out and locked it again and wasn't able to reproduce it... Anyone ever experience this before?

I've heard several issue with the locking system can cause this, including a bad alarm battery and if one of the door lock buttons breaks.

This thread may also provide some insight.....https://mbworld.org/forums/sl55-amg-...s-off-etc.html

My trunk closes all the way but a few hours later the R/H forward corner pops up an RCH....lack of full trunk closure may be triggering the alarm.....i may have a leak and/or bad pump.....hoping the fact that the trunk otherwise operates normally indicates pump is still okay, but prob not for long if i don't fix leak.....any other thoughts on what else trunk issue could be besides leak?

Thanks,
Scott

I realize this is an old thread but your problem is probably coming from your alarm siren, if the siren is bad or the battery is dead it screws with the entire alarm system. First see if the car locks normally with the fob if you do it twice in a row, lock, lights flash, unlock. lock again no lights flash, does the panic siren work? Any of these things and your siren is bad, replace. It is located under the driver side wheel arch, in the back, remove bottom plastic cover and stick you arm up in there, your need a security torx to get it out.
