Panic Button on Keyfob Doesn't Work
I received two keyfobs I bought my 2003 E-500 last month. Everything on the keyfobs seem to work fine, except for the red panic button. I can push, pull, and contort in different positions to try and get it to work... but it never will.
Any suggestions? Is there a way to "reprogram" the key or make sure it's paired correctly? Just FYI... I assume it is paired right since it unlocks the doors, cranks the car, etc... just drawing at straws here...

Yep, I made the same mistake. I guess the MB engineers wanted to make it nearly impossible for us to set it off by accident. Good luck!
