Electric boot closure problems....
Hi,
so I have this option on my car, power boot closure, which I've always loved about my car, but recently its been giving my problems. When closing the boot its fine, just press the button and all is good, but when I press the button on the remote to open, the boot only pops up a inch or so, and doensnt fully open up. Sometimes when I hold the button down again for a second or third time then it opens fully.....really annoying!!!
Does anybody know how to fix this problem?? PLEASE HELP!!

First off check the batteries in the remote, if they are fine. Then you definitely have a problem, that needs to be addressed. Take it to an independant shop, at least then, you won't be paying dealership prices. I have the trunk closure feature an absolutely love it, especially when my hands are full of grocery bags.

thanks for the reply, but before starting the thread I did realise I could take it to the maindealers.
I thought somebody might have resolved the problem with a small minor fix.

It's more than likely the motor that's faulty here. I had a similar issue with the wifes car and managed to get it fixed under warranty.
Otherwise it'll be a new motor that'll cost $805.00 wholesale or $1,170.00 retail. Check out parts.com..
Motor 03-08 $1,170.00 N/A $365.00 $805.00

Come on guys you drive a Benz you knew these cars were electrical nightmares when you purchased them. Take it to the dealer and get it fixed. If you cant afford the repairs don't buy the car. My car is there now for a dead crank sensor and my drivers side keyless door sensor just quit, the cheap *** plastic chrome on the cup holder is peeling and the sunroof has a mind of its own. Do you see me *****ing??

Full throttle, your a JOKE! You put some rims on a CLS and think your god greatest gift to mankind! Apart from the fact that you have NOTHING better to do than reply stupid comments to peoples real problems you also spend your life on a W211 forum....get a life. Dont brag about the problems with your car, it doesnt make you sound like a BIG GUY. I havent been on this forum long, but the amount of people that hate you and your attitude, surely you must have got the hint by now??

Usmankhan, I just had this problem starting yesterday. It happened when it was open all the way and I pressed the close button on the car. I hears the "reeaarrhhrahh" sound like normal (which is bad enough by the way because it sounds craptastic), but then it moved like an inch then stopped. Tried several more times then had to force closed. Then when I opened it back up, it opened only ~2 inches. No fix in sight. I think I might get the f-ing computer manual b/c I'm having all kinds of problems: trunk, sunroof w/ a mind of its own like Full Throttle, blinker going out every freaking trip, creeky suspension, etc. I'd be happier with 1/2 the bells and whistles if they'd all work as they're supposed to!

As to using a failed electronic boot manually, it is not that simple as it will not release and open like the standard boot.
One more thing for the OP to check is that he is not "double tapping" the key button as that will cause it to pop and not raise.

Yes, thats all it was, becareful you dont put too much tension on the springs, as this will cause the boot to pop up too fast, and also causes too much strain on the motor when closing..
let me know how it goes!

I got in there and moved the springs to the next hole. It was initially on the weakest tension setting (furthest to the front of the car). That didn't work. Also tried the next higher tension (3rd hole from the front). I hear the motor working, but nothing is moving. You didn't have to change anything else while you were in there?
