Default Re: Told alarm module needs to be replaced - searching for reset trick used on SLK’s

We need more info than "currently car won't start" There are two major ways this can go.
First disconnect the battery for three minutes, reconnect and try to start. If you get three attempts, but car does not start you have a SKREEM problem. If car will not even turn the starter over, but the dash lights work OK you have a RCM problem.
Before we can help we need more specific info. It would help a lot also if you connect a scan tool and get the diagnostic trouble codes. DTC. GET THE NUMBER!! no something someone tells you it means. GET the number!

PS NEVER GO TO A DEALERSHIP!!!
