Door Locks Don't Work// Locked Out
Hello.
I have a 1999 S500. I do not have the remote fob, only 2 "normal" keys with no chip or anything. Hair plain boring keys. This is a new to me I just got. I haven't had an issue before, but I went to Go unlock the car and I can see the lock move in the door panel but I cannot open to door. This happened once before in the week I've had the car, I locked and unlocked and no issue until now. No matter how many times I try, I cannot get the door opened. Since I have the plain key, I haven't been able to use the trunk lock, only the driver's door unlocks when I unlock. Since I park on the main street, I have been operating the door locks by hand, but I think that may have broken something. Please help, I cannot get into the car now and it is not a traditional lock system so I do not know if AAA or anyone can help me get in. Did I mess something up operating the locks by hand? Am I missing something? The central locking doesn't work. I believe the pump under the rear seat but I could be wrong. The soft close doors all work. I have checked the trunk fuses and no issues there.
Thank you.
And the electrical check in the door lock works, if I pop the trunk before I unlock the door, the car alarm goes off. I can see the lock move but cannot open the door.
