The remote functionality for one of the keys for my 98 E300 doesn't work....never has in the 2-1/2 years I've owned the car. So I simply use the mechanical key. Not a huge deal since it's a spare key (my son has the working key), but I was curious to find out if there's any possible way that the remote function can be brought back to life. (Yes, I've replaced the batteries.)

I haven't tried contact cleaner yet...or seeing what can be taken apart and put back together.
