Well I'm not sure if this is a heads up or if its just my car. But just this morning something happened that hasn't happened in the two years that I've owned my 05 MBM.
First thing, I moved the car out of the driveway so my wife could go to work. Put the car back in the driveway and went back into the house. An hour and a half later I'm heading out to the store and get to the car and hit unlock and get nothing. No lights, no click.
I figure maybe the battery in the remote is weak so I go get the spare set and try that and bingo it opens. I read my owners manual and it kinda hints that other than the obvious it might need to be put back in the ignition , turned to on then to off. So I try that and it starts working again. WTF, I wouldn't want to not know that and get stuck in the middle of nowhere.
It did also say to open the door with the key and even though the alarm would start you could silence it by putting the key in and doing the on/off thing and that would stop it . Sorry if this was to long.
Anyone else had this happen or is it just me ?
