Keyless Go - door won't auto unlock when pulling handle

the passenger door does work properly - could it be a simply sensor, etc. I looked in the EPC and there's not a separate sensor for each door it seems, looks like a trip to the dealer.

Had something similar happen to a rear door. Replaced door handle under warranty. Came from Mercedes-Benz already painted.

I had the same problem on my driver door. I took the handle off, reconnected it and it started working... Don't know what it was but it works now, lol...

Sorry to revive a old thread. but it's better than posting a new thread. How easy is to remove the door handle? Specifically the right rear door handle. Because I just noticed when pulling the right rear door handle it will no longer unlock the car any more. However the door lock button still works. Looking to DIY as the car is out of warranty.

it will be the inner switch on the door handle, you will need a new handle.
