SOURCE: My key will not open the doors or start the engine

It's possible that your key is bad or no longer works. A way to verify that it is a key problem is to see if the 2nd key or spare key works properly. Check the side of the remote key for a 3 digit #. if the key variant is less then 221 the way to reset it is to put it in the ignition and pull it out 5x with 8secs. If higher than 221 then the no need to try and reset remote key.

SOURCE: ignition key wont open or lock car was working

hi this sounds like the fob may need to be reprogrammed this will deppend on the type of key fob you have either a flip key type one or the push in the hole type one if its the push in the hole one, this can only be reset at the main dealer, if it is the flip key type one i may be able to give you the instructions to try and reprogram it to work...hope this helps

SOURCE: mercedes e220cdi 2003 battery is

This is a very serious situation as there are only a few ways you can go about this.
The surest way out of this is to call a mechanic over and have him help you open the lock from outside.
He can do this by picking the lock or by working on the door panel.
There is no other secure method as the car would not come on neither will it open.
hope this helped you? Please comment for more information.

Get underneath the engine and attach a battery charger positive to the positive lead on the starter and a clean bolt on the engine or bodywork. In 15 minutes, you will be able to open the door.

Alternatively there is the easy way, use the emergency door key that is hidden in the fob.

Dead battery, how do I open the door with the manual key inside the key fob

Open out the key and insert it into the keyhole in the door and turn the key, and lift the handle.

'year make model' in all questions please as the first three words.

Everything you could ever need to know about cars and how to get into them is on Google.

You can put power in the battery with jump leads or a battery charger, by getting underneath and connecting power to the positive starter motor terminal and the negative on a clean bolt head.

New battery In mercedes no power

I'm not a car mechanic, but, it sounds like you might want to check the fuse to the ignition switch, and, if that fails, it might be a problem with the Start Safety Switch on the transmission. Good luck.
