03 e500 door locks HELP!

I have a 2003 E500. Do not understand the key-go technology. Sometimes when I try to lock doors, front doors lock and rear doors stay open. I can lock all doors by pressing button on rear door handle (lights flash) and car is locked. When I press button on front door handle (nothing happens). Please explain the key-go process or do I need front rear door actuator??

you mean keyless-entry/go right? i believe you can fix that on dash settings. just have to play around with it to find it.

Thanks beejAMG. I will try tonight. Does anyone have experience with replacing entire air suspension system with standard coil over shocks. I saw the complete set on Ebay for $1000 that came with a device that stops the light from coming on dash after you install. I have read a lot of messages about failed suspension on 03 E500. I have to look for the company.
