But I had to wait several weeks before it arrived (this was actually due to no one ordering it at the dealership, rather than it being a hard to find part!!! When they did eventually order it, it arrived next day!!!! ) Back to the dealership and again the test came back saying faulty sensor, deciding that this was highly unlikely, they ordered an entire brand new alarm unit. Got my car back, and couple of weeks later it went off again. So got it in at the dealership, they did there tests and initially they thought it was a faulty internal sensor, so they replaced that then and there, and checked that a signal was getting around the wiring uninteruppted - it was!!!!! Weirdly enough, I found that when it did go off, that within the next three hours it would go off another two times!!!! Īnyway winter hit, and it stopped going off!!! Then last summer it started again. Mine started doing this, just after I moved house, but I put it down to the fact that there was a Caterpillar Digger rolling past the house most days, and it was causing the house to shake, so figured it was setting the alarm off as well. Would you believe this, but apparently it is quite a common fault with both the SLK and the CLK!! She parked her car near mine, there was plenty of room to get in and out, but later, I moved her car even farther and either the lights flashed with no alarm later on, or it didn't do it. Wanna know what's weird, no shit, it started doing this when my wife got home. Which, leads me to believe this was a problem before. He said that he wouldn't mind coming over today, I don't know what he can do, all I know is it better be free! The car is 4 days old to me, 8 thousand miles on it and the only record of anything being replaced on the car with the prior owner is a battery. Mmm, not a good idea for a repair guy to be wandering around looking for the right house at midnight. It was late and I didn't want to make any more noise for the neighbors, its not that they live terribly close, its just that this is a REAL quiet little neighborhood on top of a mountain, any strange noises occur here and you see doors open and hear shot guns click. I called Mercedes road side assistance, to my surprize, the man said he'd be here in a half hour. Its snowing today, but it was dry last night. well, you know the rest.ĭoes anyone have any ideas? Besides being embarrasing, its annoying to have such a nice car with terrets! NO CIGAR! WTF WTF WTF I'm ready to pull fuses, its 10:50 pm and my neighbor already offered to help the situation out with a brick cause its waking up his dog, who barks, and that wakes up his kids, who scream, and that wakes up his wife, who is a pure CU. I don't get it! I've even tried moving my wifes car a little farther away from mine, cause it all started when she got home and parked next to me. I've tried using my keys, then my wife's keys, that wasn't it. I even took the car for a 2 hour ride thinking something would reset. I opened and closed the clove box a gazzilion times and that's not it. I've opened and shut the hood, it's shut tight. I checked to see if the doors are aligned and shut snugly, they are. I tried fooling with the tow button, that wasn't the issue, I've raised and lowered the roof, thinking it wasn't seated well, (I don't think it would do anything anyway) that wasn't the problem. There's no one around, I've gone out, opened the trunk, played with the inside trunk opener to see if that could be the issue, it wasn't. We stoped it by clicking the button, like we've had to do before on other cars and it goes off again. Man, why me? I finally get the car of my/our dreams and on day 4 the alarm started going off around 3p.m.
