2009 Mercedes SLK300
New Car!! ...but with several problems

Hi all! Just bought a new car but some problemsHi!

I am now a proud owner of a 2009 Mercedes SLK300 with a black on black interior and exterior. It runs smoothly but unfortunately it has several problems. I had bought it sight unseen from across the country and now have found out that it is a basket case. Here is the list pf problems that Ive had:

- Turn signals and hazards not working
- The glove box, fuel door, and center console are locked
- The trunk doesn't unlock/ open unless I insert a mechanical key and then open it
- Two fuses don't receive power in the trunk fuse box, it was the one for central locking and the one 2 fuses over (I don't remember what it was for but it was a 7.5A fuse)
- The fuel gage doesn't work
- The key does not unlock the doors (Ive replaced the batteries in the key)

I think thats about it so if you guys have had similar problems I would love to know how you have fixed these problems and if you guys have any advice for me I would love to hear it. Thanks!

You need to scan it-sounds like a SAM module playing up- the signal for remote is via the ariel installation.

Yes that’s exactly what it was. Everything is fixed now except for the vario roof (hydraulic line burst). The car is a blast to drive and I am looking for mods that I can do to the car now
