Guys,
Hopefully you can help as this one is a puzzle.
1996 C220 won't start, attempts to start has the remote keyless red/green lights on the rear view flashing. I can use the remote or the "manual" key to unlock and lock the car. Using the fob will unlock the car with the flashing green light. Locking with fob will flash the red light - so it locks/unlocks just like it should. However, when I get IN the car and try to start it the red/green lights flash. Ideas? I did notice that the fuel door lock (plunger thingy) doesn't work and leaves the fuel door unlocked. I'm wondering if some how this factors into it. I replaced the immobiliser module to no avail - so that doesn't appear to be the problem. Should I replace the ignition perhaps?? Any ideas would be helpful.
