May be a blown fuse or bad connection, Check for voltage at the boot latch.

SOURCE: mercedes key fob wont lock the doors.might have a

Hi, it’s pretty difficult to lose a part of the circuit as you describe. So assuming that you have placed new fresh batteries correctly in the key – making sure that the polarity is correct! (easy to get wrong!) the key will need to be synchronised to the cars ignition / management system. You don’t say which model or year your Merc is, but most have a similar way of re – synchronising the Key to the car. It’s pretty easy and you lose nothing by trying it anyway.

Synchronising the locking system
If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked, first check the remote control unit batteries (see below). If the battery charge indicator lamp lights up, this means the system needs to be synchronised.
To do this, direct the remote control unit at the car and briefly press the Lock or Unlock button twice. Within approximately 30 seconds, put the key in the ignition lock and turn the key to position 2. The locking system should now be operative.

Battery Check
Press either the Lock or Unlock button and hold for longer than one second. The light on the key lights up briefly if the battery is OK. if it does not light up, replace the batteries immediately. Mercedes will charge a small fortune for these, so try elsewhere, they are pretty common and will cost substantially less.

If re – synchronising the Key fails to solve the problem, check that the Central locking fuse in the cars main fuse box is OK.

Hope this solves the problem – Let me know? Good luck!

The fob and car have to go to the dealer to have it reprogramed.

Vw golf mk4 my rear passenger door willnot open with central locking key system. i can't even open it from the inside, pull the door handle and the lock pin rises but door won't open. i believ

This worked for me on 2008 Mk5 Golf, after the rear passenger door would not open fro outside or inside.

Hold the inside door latch open and keep it extended, then with the key fob open and close the door locks (still holding the inside latch open). Keep locking and unlocking the door, then it made a kluck and it released.

When we use our key fob to lock the doors, i know we must use the key fob to unlock the doors to avoid the alarm from going off. Recently I parked in a parking garage at an airport (left key fob at home)...

You should be able to just unlock the door with the key, and even if the alarm is still going of try to start it the key should override the alarm.

Program a remote key for 03 A6

I have an A4 and did this to re-program my key:

1. used the key to start the car...then turned it off
2. put the key in the driver door (door closed)
3. pressed the lock button on the key fob once
4. turned the key to lock the door.

This is basically the steps in the owners manual, but the car must be started with the key first, and the key must be in the door lock before pressing the lock button.

Unlocking Boot lid

I am assuming your problem is similar to mine; the key fob isn't dead, but for some reason the boot won't release.  This happens rarely, but can be very frustrating (and embarrassing)!

When neither the key fob nor the release on the boot work, lock and unlock the car, and insert the key into the ignition.  Turn the key to the second stage, i.e. the accessories are powered, and then remove the key.  This ought to allow you to use the fob again.
