Alarm wont arm, blinkers wont flash, IR windows wont work.

2000 C230 sport kompressor.

Had some stuff rolling around in the trunk so I think that's where the problem is at.

Also think this problem could happen to any newer Mercedes

Some symptoms are:

Locking the car with remote will not arm alarm, will lock doors.
IR window function wont work at all.
Panic button does work
With window down, Doors locked with remote, I can still start the car.
The lil red light on the TOW switch does flash.

I checked the fuses in the trunk and engine and they are fine.

Could be a relay?

I also disconnected the Battery to reset the system.

any pointers would be great.

Another note, My power seats don't work, and I quick search revealed a faulty relay. I smack the relay and my power seats work again , but not for long.

thanks.

PSE Module maybe? Must check for codes with an SDS (Star Diagnostic System) before replacing. Seats...yeah...relay goes bad which is located in the trunk area.
