Chrysler or Mercedes mechanic?
Re: Chrysler or Mercedes mechanic?
Thanks... my key fob stopped working suddenly and when I tried to unlock with the key it set off the alarm.
All kinds of chaos ensued after that! Tried unhooking the battery for a while, then finally took out the fuse so I could at least drive home (after finally getting it to start) without the alarm screaming. Have to say, that's the loudest car alarm I've ever heard!

Re: Chrysler or Mercedes mechanic?
Do you promise to let us know if we give you the solution? Let us know the solution if you find it yourself in the future as well please You asked about a problem with the fob before, some five years ago, we gave you suggestions and mine was the last and we ever heard from you again. We never heard from you again about your temperature sensor question either.
I could give you a possible solution on this problem but knowing I will probably never know if it worked or not makes me hesitate to offer it.

This forum is a treasure chest of solutions, some misinformation as well and you have to sort it out or ask for clarification.
It looks good if you try the search function rather than get people answering the same question again and again.
Re: Chrysler or Mercedes mechanic?
Thanks so much for the suggestion, but I tried the search function first. If you're concerned about not getting any feedback, then by all means don't answer the question... I'm getting lots of clarity by people answering "again and again" and appreciate each tip.

I would be checking the CLP/SSM (pump) in the trunk under the foam behind the passenger seat for water damage. Pulling fuse #9 stops the siren but the trunk pump controls the anti theft features. The fob should cancel the alarm when operating the pump, if the pump is damaged by rain water it will not do so.

Re: Chrysler or Mercedes mechanic?
If you find no water in the trunk area, the NiMH batteries in the alarm/siren might have deteriorated and corrosion and acid might be effecting the alarm's circuit board. Use the forum's search function and look up alarm /siren failure. When you have found the solution to the car's problem, report back to this forum so others can learn as well. Thank you.

Re: Chrysler or Mercedes mechanic?
I'm in ft. Myers and am a dealer crossfire tech. My dealer is getting away from working on these cars and I'm picking up the slack at home on the side in my free time. I'm not sure if your car is your daily driver but if you can afford to leave it with me for a little bit I can work on it for you.
