i have a 98 ml 320 and neither of my remotes seem to work anymore. i bought new batts. and nothing. is there a way to reprogram them, or am i putting the batts in wrong???

Hi,
There is a way to reprogram the remotes. You do it with the key in the ignition and pressing a series of buttons within a certain time. Check your manual. If no luck search the forum and keep in mind your model year.

To re-syncro the keys TRY this

Get in truck
Shut door
Insert the key that you want to syncronize into the ignition
Turn the ignition switch on completely (not to start) & then back off
Remove key
Hold the lock button on that KEY down & don't release
press the un-lock button 5 times (quickly) while holding the lock button
release the lock button & press the lock OR un-lock button 1 more time..
THAT should re-syncro that key.

OF course you have to do that complete process in LESS than 10 seconds from start to finish!!
