I have mercedes benz c class estate 2009 model that has developed a door locking issue.
Mercedes a class rear door lock problem.
Take 1 inch of electrical tape and apply it around the door lock pin.
The issue of the mercedes door lock actuator bouncing up and down affects the w203 c class and.
Our local mechanic couldn t identify a problem.
The way that this fix works is by creating resistance at the door lock pin.
The circumstances were uncannily alike both owners had purchased used a class both had only owned them for a few weeks.
I took it to a mercedes benz specialist and they said it could be a door actuator.
It seems to only play up once a month or so but now the front.

Check your fuse box first to determine if a blown fuse is keeping the lock from working.
The actuator will have to be replaced which will require the door panel to be removed and with the door closed this won t be easy and needs to be done by a garage or dealer that has done this before.
If key fob is working you may have a faulty key fob which can be repaired or replaced by taking it to your dealer.
Earlier this year the driver s door would occasionally not open unless i pressed the key fob repeatedly.
Remove the door pin or at least pull it up in the unlock position.
This issue is a failure of the internal door lock actuator which is failed in the lock position which is causing the door not to open.
Ensure the door pin can go up and down.
Take your mercedes benz for a test drive.
If just one lock won t open on your mercedes then the problem may rest with broken wiring a bad solenoid or perhaps with a blown fuse.
Your door lock should not bounce up and down anymore.
