Since 2017, I have replaced all four door handles, not cheap as each door handle runs about $300 each.

This place is the same price but might be cheaper for shipping as it's in the same state as the person who asked. They have different color handles so browse for the right one unless you have one of those designo colors in which case you have to have a blank one and get it painted afterwards.

nice, thanks for another site reference. Yes about $175 each handle is the average cost (I think the rears were only slightly more at $178).

Also, like previously reported; the handles are in sequential order; 11 and 12 for fronts and 13 and 14 for rears; when you see the full part numbers you’ll see what I mean

Lock and unlock doesn't work on the driver's side handles. Works perfectly fine on the passenger's
​​​​​​The start/stop button works fine. There are no messages on the dash.

As for the trunk, FCP Euro has it for cheap:

Not sure how much a shop will charge to replace it.

Here's the VIN: WDBUF87XX9B397136

I just replaced my door handle on my CLK550 because the buttons were not working. You do not have to pull the door panel off. It was easy. Just pull back the weather stripping to reveal the hole to the Torx Screw located on the back of the lock and loosen it until the you can pull the lock off the door. The Screw will not fall out. Once you pull the lock out. You can pull the door handle off by pulling the handle out starting on the lock end. Pull it out and back at an angle toward the rear of the car. The wires are connected to front side of the handle, be careful not to break. Remove the wire harness connector and put it on the new handle. Start installing the new handle by putting the front of the handle in at approximate 45 Degree angle. At the same time pushing forward as you push the back of the handle in place. Now the hardest part, lining up the lock. When putting the lock in place you need to put the lock shaft into the slot on the door mechanism so the key will unlock the door. Make sure you use the Key in the lock to make sure the shaft is in the slot correctly. I ordered my lock from the local Mercedes dealer. Mine was chrome and black. Give them you VIN and they will send you the correct painted handle.

I paid $240 from the dealer.

Nice description on install. Thanks for posting that.

You probably need to get it scanned. It may give you an error code that will either point to the door handle or the transmitter. Usually when the handle fails, at first it's either the lock or unlock function that doesn't work. That would at least tell you it's the handle. With both out on the same side, it's hard to say.

Actually FCP is more for the trunk lock, you can get it directly from an MB dealer for $67.10. I think I remember reading directions on how to do it once and it seemed rather involved, but the price of the part I think has come down. At one point I think it was over $100. It's nice that they're not charging top dollar anymore now that the cars are getting older.
