Door Locks
My E320 - 2001 My door locks are not working. My remote will activate the alarm, but the locking mechanism either stays locked or it stays unlocked. Also the trunk is locked and will not open with the remote and will not open inside the car. The rear head rests will not release either. I checked the fuses (41, 5, 19) and the fuses were in good shape. I'm stumbed. What else can it be? A relay? Any insight?
Thanks,

sounds almost like classic case

before moving to other guesses

Thank You
Raymond,
Not the outcome I was hoping to hear, but it is what it is. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really enjoy my car and like learning from experts and other enthusists like yourself and others that have posts.

BTW, is there a special secret to changing one of the air lines?
I'm a little reluctant to force them, I don't know the breaking strength of the connectors.
I need to disconnect and reconnect for my door swap.

My '02 was leaking from the seam under the trim strips on the roof. Had to replace my PSE because, unbeknownst to me, water collected in the battery compartment and the foam surrounding the PSE wicked it up into the unit causing it to fail.
