W211 problems

Hi I'm a newbie here and this is my first post. Badly need some assistance.

I recently overhauled my engine and gearbox about 2 years ago and have not been driving my car for about 2 years because I was out of country. Battery drained out and asked a friend to install new battery and he installed it wrongly where positive into negative and negative into positive for few hours and installed it correctly again.

issues I'm facing

1- key unlock and alarm does not work
2- gear transmission is stuck on maybe 2nd gear and I cannot use the manual method to shift my gears as well

Appreciate any trick or hack I can do to sort my problem.

I have tried the TCU reset but still it's the same

please help

Hope you get this figured out, but try your luck in the W211 section as this is the introduction section and you wont find much help in here. Be sure to check out some of our W211 tech articles as they might be helpful to you: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...Index-W211.htm. Good luck!
