[R129 SL] R129 remote failure

[Howard M. Ginsberg]

Did you check the new batteries with a voltmeter?  I've had new
batteries be bad fresh out of the package.

I think my key remote has lost its mind and now refuses to communicate
with the car.  Now I have to revert to locking and unlocking my 1996 SL
500 manually (I had almost forgot how to do that).  I changed the
batteries in the key remote (no luck) and I went to the owner's manual
and went through the reprogramming sequence (still no luck).

 

Does anyone out there know what else I can try before I run it in to the
dealer and run up a bill...??

 

Thanks, George

 

Happy motoring
