I recently changed the pump on my wife's SLK 230K (1999), it was corroded. We found the alarm / central locking & the window drop (on door opening) wasn't working anymore, all these things started happening which is when I noticed the pump problem. I replaced the pump but the only thing that changed is that I can now use the central locking from the dash button. Do I need to get the new pump coded to the car, could the pump fault take out the alarm also? [?]

I'm completely confused now, I thought the new pump would rectify all the problems...

Please help me!

Seems to me that the old pump put some kind of strain on the rear SAM (fuse box) and that is where a lot of these functions are carried out. You better sit down, this isnt going to be a cheap fix.

What & where is this SAM fuse box? I guess I'll start there...

What you mean "window drop (on door opening)" was it ever working ? I think this is a first time i am hearing about this feature on SLK

I've just disconnected & then reconnected the PSE, I also changed the key fob batteries & recoded the key to the car. Now it all works again. At last...[]

How did you recode the key please?

Here you go:

1) Get in and close all the doors.
2) insert your key in to the ignition cylinder
3) turn the key to position 2 (do not start)
4) turn the key off & remove
5) press & HOLD the lock button
6) press the unlock button 5 times
7) release the lock button
8) press any other button on the remote (ie tailgate)

you only have ten(10) seconds to do the entire procedure so keep trying.

My window doesn't go down when I open the door. I know what you mean, I've had it on other cars. Does it do it with the SLK too?

If the auto locking (when driving away) does not work press the central locking switch (beside radio) for 10seconds.

To synchronize the remote control (from the 2002 manual):

Synchronizing remote control
The system may have to be resynchronized, if the
transmitter is without voltage for several minutes.
To synchronize system, aim transmitter eye at vehicle
and briefly press transmit button (Lock) or (Unlock) twice.
Within approximately 30 seconds insert key in steering lock and turn it to position 2.
The remote control should once again be operational.
