It could be a loose wire or something else. In the mean time you should turn OFF the alarm to trouble shoot the problem and/or to use the vehicle. On all cars with an alarm system there is a toggle switch somewhere under the dash & Usually on the driver side. Find the toggle switch, put key in the ignition & turn the key to the ON position, then toggle the switch to the other side within 5 seconds. That should turn the alarm OFF until you figure out what the problem is with Disarming the alarm. It will also allow you to use the vehicle. Good Luck! Andrew

I will attach a comprehensible manual that should be able to help you out -

I recently bought a new air filter for my Mercedes from the following site - http://www.familycar.com/autoparts/mercedes/c230/cabin_air_filter.html

There is a great manual you can order online that provides you with great step-by-step instructions to help you change your cabin air filter for your vehicle. I will attach the link for you here...

According to the manufacturer, the cabin air filter should be changed every 15,000 miles.

try on ebay.but you should be able to find a place to do a recon on your pump.

how do you even know that it was repaired??? is that engine having pre-combustion chamber???

Have a spare key?

115v USA wiring. We replaced our A.O. Smith 312P458 with a Century C524 motor. Century has bought out A.O.Smith and this is the interchange motor. The drum switch has four wires going to the motor (plus a ground). 2 wires are Hot and Neutral in Forward and Reverse (I refer to these as Line)and 2 wires are Hot and Neutral in Forward and swapped in Reverse (I refer to these as Switched Line). On Century motor, remove Brown jumper wire all together. Hook up as following:Pin1=Blue, Orange, LinePin2=EmptyPin3=Black, Switched LinePin4=RedPin5=Switched LinePin6=White, Yellow, Line

You code the car to the remote on this model. What are the symptoms?

Is it just not unlocking or will it not start?

check the battery first.

use a voltmeter to see difference in open close position (ohm)

you most likely just need to prime the fuel lines. you can do this by attaching a vacuum pump to a pressure release fitting on the fuel rail. when you turn your key to the on position without turning the engine over do you hear a buzz or quiet whine coming from behind you? if so your pump is working and you should continue to turn the key off then on without starting several times then trying to start it every 5th try. what might work a lot better though is to spray starting fluid(fuel dampened rag held over the intake works as well or my favorite brake cleaner spray instead of starting fluid.) you can connect a wire connected from the positive terminal of the battery to the corresponding lead on the pump the bypass the ecu and everything else be careful about creating sparks. goodluck

If just a remote has failed (the other works perfectly) then the problem is with it, not the system - that remote has died. You will have to buy another one from sites that deal in second hand parts/ classifieds , like Ebay and Craigslist, and reprogram the system to accept it. You will need to provide the exact model number of your system if you want the correct replacement remote and the exact procedure for registering the remote.
If you don't know the model number or you can't find another remote then you will need to completely replace the system. - it won't cost too much, a simple system with installation will cost you less than $150.

This sounds like the power wire to the actuator is shorting out on the frame somewhere, giving the open door indication. I would think you could short the wires out before the actual short, and bypass the actuator, to do a workaround.
Replacement of the bad wires is optimum, but can be difficult. If you can run a parallel set of wires, you can cut the bad ones out of the circuit.
It sounds like you're pretty mechanical, so you can probably pull this off.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
