Then central locking button on dash unlocks the car but it won't lock the car - it also has resulted in the courtesy lighting not working. I can lock and unlock the car using the key fob. Also the button for the rear head restraints is not working. Can anyone help? Thanks
I just fixed this on my daughters e320 4matic one of the door switches was broken replaced it for $11. Now the dash lock switch and dome lights work great.
Can you please re-ask this questions?
First, you said the button Unlocks the Car and then say it Won't?
Second, The lock/unlock does not control the Courtesy lights, there is a Time delay but now here is the kicker....
Does the Courtesy lights come on when you use the FOB ?
If they do, they you have a problem with the Button or the Button Controller or a wire.
Third, I am not sure what Button you are talking about on the REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS? Are you talking Head Rests? I have never heard of as HEAD RESTRAINT
Thanks.
The car can be locked and unlocked with the key fob.
However, if I try to lock the car with central locking button on the dashboard if doesn't lock
The rear head rest/restraints can be lowered using the button on the dash.
and do the Courtesy Lights operate normally with the FOB ? What you are experiencing is a failure with the Switch Itself or something within the system. Until you start to troublshoot, you will not know for sure.... I am not sure if that particular switch has a LOCK OUT FEATURE or not. GM does and it will react this way. One other note... If you are trying to LOCK the car with you inside it with the KEY in or Out of the ignition and with the CAr RUNNING and in Gear? These are Variables to protect you from CAR THEFT, from you locking the KEYS in the vehicle.... So if you have the Door Open, the car may not lock. Try to work ALL the variables I have mentioned .. Including sitting in the car with the Keys out. Doors Closed. USE FOB and Button. What you are experiencing may only be a Safety Issue to keep you from locking the keys in the car,,,, DO THIS FOR ME... START THE CAR, PUT IT IN GEAR AND LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE CONSOLE BUTTON... What happened?
Ok, More information... Then you have an Electical issue with the Wiring.... Is the Switch on the same Panel?

The Key Fob needs to be syncronised to the car........Try this it works for many Mercs1....ensure the battery in the "Key Fob" is OK............Press either Lock or Unlock button for more than 1 second, the lamp on the fob will light if OK. Change battery if it does not illuminate!
2.....if battery on fob OK.......Re Syncronise the key fob to the car by:.... a brief press on either button twice and within 30 seconds turn Key to position 2 on the ignition lock
Hope that fixes it...let me know?

Hello Haq!
Could it be the key just needs re-coding? maybe you are worrying to much as £177 would be about right as that would need coding etc., Try phoning your local Merc dealer or take the key and V5 to them for coding (Hopefully)
Good Luck!

Take the keys and the car to the dealership. You need to have them take of this because we can't fix that.

I have a 2001 C240 with the same issue. I removed the positive battery cable from the battery and kept it off for 30 seconds then replaced it. Everything was reset and the key worked.
