Car completely locked up
I need help...
Well... I only drive my car on weekends... and today... I heard the alarm going off on my car... so i try to turn it off using the panic...and nothing works... no lock nor unlock button... so I open the drivers side door with the key...and put the key in the ignition and try to turn but it doesn't... after about 2 minutes of messing around, the alarm goes off. Now, the car won't start, won't lock... no lights... nothing at all...
I would like to disconnect the batter and reconnect it but>>> my key won't go into the trunk... I believe the lock has seized up... tried wd40...but???
I'm assuming that the alarm system locked the car up completely... any suggestions????????

I agree. Dead battery. There is way to jump it from....
under the hood. Do a search on this forum for the proper procedure.
Call your Benz dealer they can also tell you.

Thanks guys... it was a dying battery... now I just need to figure out why it died... b/c i didn't leave anything on... and now... it seems like its dying again ...and then charges when I drive...but after sitting for while, it starts to die so???
