2008 ML550 key fob
Need some assistance. I replaced both auxiliary and main battery on my ML. After that both keys remote stopped working. I can lock and unlock it if I aim the key to the infrared lens on the driver side door. Any help on how to reset or resynchronizing both key fobs? Thanks!

read your manual or visit any dealer who will no doubt help you as a courtesy!

I read the manual but couldn’t find any instructions on how to reprogram the smart key besides the unlocking sequence.

Start by looking at pg. 116.

Before I replaced both batteries keys worked fine. I was able to lock and unlock it from a distance, even from inside the house.

You have a fault in central locking system------work some OT and get the car diagnosed then you can take a month to fix.

Do you have Keyless Go and where do you live?


When you removed the battery, was the key in the ignition?
