S320
New member with ?’s
Hi everyone-
I recently purchased a used 97 S320 from a car auction. I have never owned a car like this. It runs great, but has some minor issues. I’m looking forward to asking people with knowledge about this car.
The first question I’d like to ask is...I changed the batteries in the key fob & I’m having trouble programming it to work. I followed the directions I found in a manual online, as well as instructions on this site. It’s still not working. When I press the button on the key fob & point it at the door, I see a white light. When I press the button twice, the light on the door turns green. I tried to lock the door within 30 seconds after seeing the green light, but it still doesn’t unlock/lock the doors.
The key fob was working fine when I first got the car, (approx 2 months ago). It stopped working & I assumed the batteries died. I changed the batteries & now I can’t get it to work. This is very frustrating. Btw-I consider myself fairly intelligent, although I’m definitely not a mechanic. I also know very little about this car. It seems like a small, (1 of the many), issues I have. I really don’t have the money to take it to a Mercedes mechanic, especially for what seems like a simple problem.
i would appreciate any help I can get programming this key fob!
Thank-you in advance!
