CLK 320 2004 Remote key problem
The remote key won't open the door even, if it is held close to the door. After I manually opened the door, both indicators are on. So, I replaced the battery in the key. The same thing was happening. The car battery was replaced two days ago. What could be the problem? A few months ago, the car battery went dead, however at that time; it was replaced with an old one from another car (E class) and a few months after that this started happening. So, as explained above, I replaced key battery, car battery with new one, but two days after replacement of the car battery this started happening again.

NO LONGER ACTIVE
Check fuse #8 on the panel in the trunk. If it's blown, and blows again, then you have a bad ATA (alarm) siren. If it's not blown, then you have an antenna amp problem and that's much more complicated/expensive to fix.

Thank you for your answer, it was fuse 8 after all. So, if it blows again, would it be OK to disconnect the siren? I searched forums and it sounds complicated - at least for me. Or would it be better to completely remove the siren? Thanks.
