IIRC it isn't a sensor so much as a switch, and also IIRC it is on the side of the door lock cylinder, inside the door. The fact that the drivers door lock isn't working and you have this no-start problem could all be related. I believe the switch is available as a seperate item. Again it might be worth it to get it all working, I don't think the key costs all that much on this car, I'm sure you'd love having a remote again! To work on just the outer handle and lock cylinder I don't think the inner door panel even needs to come off! But to get it locking and unlocking again from that door (using the key) probably will, I think it's just a metal rod, may have become disconnected, this happens some times, say if someone uses a slimjim to get in the car (like for example the keys get locked inside).
DAS is Driver Authorization System, in other words in the antiotheft system, which is keeping the car from starting. It is not a single component, it's just the nomenclature MB uses for the antitheft system. DAS2 is the "type" of DAS you have, there are/were various versions of it, DAS1, 2 and 3 and another one called DASX, I am sure it is all different today. They mainly change the systems to keep the crooks on their toes.
