Replaced the shitty Conti keyless entry module in the handle. Reseated the whole handle, as it had become dislodged.

At some point, need to look at repair possibilities for the old module, as they are pretty expensive, and microswitches are a quid for a bloody good one.

Is it the switches or the useless lead free solder joints fracturing?

I have absolutely no idea what the Conti keyless entry module looks like BTW......

Today, looked at said switch, and am reserving a place in hell for the idiot who designed the whole handle thing.

Stripped handle down, and put it all back together again, as gonna need entire passive entry module for that handle.  Although buggered if I can get the screw back in the trim piece to secure it.  Flattened the battery in the process - well, flattened it enough to get the message on the dash to start the engine.

And you reckon Mercedes are shite !
😀😁😂
Reckon? No. I know Mercedes Benz are shite.  Well, anything designed after the late 80s.

Same setup used on most of the high end Marques....Conti part from memory
It is indeed Conti. Thus shite.

But poor Tilbo's parts bin Mercedes lacks any such luxuries...
.

Replaced absolutely nothing because everything works.

If you're stealing for parts, which is often the case, a broken window is of no concern. And don't give me 'You'd stand out a mile with a broken window', cause the two traffic cars in Liverpool would probably be miles away/off the road/on tea break/investigating a parking infringement.

We are all thieves at heart, it's in our DNA. It's just that some care more about getting caught than others.
If you saw a wodge of cash lying unattended, and you knew you could have it off with absolutely no chance of being caught, you'd take it. Human nature.

Who puts a window down? Except maybe to shout abuse at someone.

No idea until I can dig the potting compound out.  The switch has a feel to it, but a bit soft.  So who knows.

Its a module that fits in the door handle, with a transmitter/receiver to detect nearby key.  It also has a button to lock the car if you CBA to find you key from your pocket/bag/whatever.
