Key Fob Locking irrational
My 1997 SL500 key Fobs will open close locks (doors) sometimes. Not other times. Very erratic.
Have changed batteries. Still--some times it works, then it will not work for days/weeks. Any one else having this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks JD jdharriman@msn.com

Take it apart. Probably has a broken connector at the board on the push button switch. I just had to re-solder mine for the same issue.

Thanks It's a newish fob, but I'll take it apart and look.
