Question Lights Don't Flash When Car Is Locked?

All of the sudden my lights do not flash when the car is locked using the remote. They do flash when it is unlocked with the remote.

What might the problem be?

Thank you, but I really can't take credit for this one

Indeed, all the elements to the correct answer, although cleverly hidden, were present in the original post.

I'm just very happy to be of assistance with this very annoying problem.

I had an unfair advantage given that I experienced this same annoyance with my wife's ML500. It has long been fixed though.

My Dear Watson

My Dear Watson,

You have mearly restated the original post and in no way solved the problem. The lights not flashing is just a symptom and not the problem.

This may be a question of semantics but...

I thought the original poster asked what the problem was, not what the solution to the problem was.

I apologize to the original poster for this horrible mistake!


Chuck, did you graduate from Penn State by any chance?

Penn State grads

tend to be challenged by large words:

mearly
He meant merely. Penn State grads love this... It is not quite a dialect and it does not have a well established grammar.

UncAl,

Chuck V is not merely (that's mearly Chuck!) a Penn State grad, you can tell from his previous post that he is a CS major. I undestand that their CS curriculum includes syntax errors in the post graduate program, while run-time errors are reserved for Penn State's Ph. D. level courses.

Again, I had an unfair advantage since the maid attached to our service did graduate from Penn State with honors. That is how I got used to their dialectic and odd syntactical constructs.

Chuck V,

Trying to diagnose your error message, I came to the following conclusions.

1) This error was encountered while browsing on a competitors forum
2) The software solution used by the competing community is in house grown
3) They are using MS Access as the back end DB
4) Frank forgot to code for the annoying links to posts that had been censored by Drew

If I'm roght about this one, I promise to take all that I've said about Penn State back!
