Programming Remotes

I'm a newbie in this forum.

I have not used my remote on my wife's ML 430 for a long time and didn't realized the batteries went dead. When I put in new batteries the remote does not work anymore. Does anyone has instructions how to re-program a remote? Thanks.

It's in the book. I had to do it after taking my remote for a swim. Took out the battery and let it dry for several days. After putting it back together, I had to reprogram mine. It was quite easy. Wish I remembered the steps.

You might have one of the early ones with transponder problems. Either that or you may just have had to resynchronize the remote.

Thanks for your replies.

I looked at my owner's manual and I could not find any remote programming instructions. I have an early 99 production ML 430, could that be the reason? I would appreciate it if anyone who has the programming instructions to post it, please. Thanks again.

OK, look in the index in the back of the owners manual, the alphabetical index.
Look under "Remote control, synchronizing", I'm sure it's in there.
I encourage everyone trying to do this to refer to the owners manual. I do this quite often, there are about 3 different ways of synchronizing the remotes, it's best to look in the owners manual and find the proper way for your vehicle.

Thank you, Gilly. I will look closely to the owner's manual.

I read most of your replies in the forum and they are very informative and precise. You, as well as other MB techs & members, are really providing valuable information, expertise and experience to the group. I salute all of you for your contributions.
