Trunk will not open!!!!
My 2003 CL600 trunk wont open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i took the CL to work today and just got home from work.
I go to pop the trunk and nada!
I can hear a solenoid click but nothing.
So i go to my $300 new key fob i purchased from the dealer and try to take out the safety key which i think is for this purpose. The little plastic slider that releases that key breaks off like it was madeof............uhh...........cheap plastic!
I finally find a way to get the key out and insert it into the lock in the trunk. This just allows you to operate yet another electrical switch and nadda!!!!!!!!!
This seems idiotic. It should operate a mechanical mechanism for this very issue with a faulty electrical component.
To top it all off i realize my cell phone,wallet,license,etc. is locked in the darn trunk &^&%$%^$&(@&*&&$@%*()(*^&$
You just gotta love Mercedes Quality ;-)
Any ideas??
So before i post here i try to look at the fuses. There are 4 locations where there are seperate fuse blocks. All have zero info or fuse mapping. I go to the manual and it has ziltch!!,,,,,,,Nada!!!!
Oh.... but the manual tells me there is a "Fuse Chart" in with the tool kit.
Guess where???

if your hearing noise thats a good thing. make sure youre pushing in the key and turning it, or turn then push and try to turn the key both ways. im not trying to insult you just sometimes people dont know to push in the lock .. also sometimes its good to try to have someone sit on the trunk lid as your trying to unlock it. and also try to pull it open while trying to open the trunk

I got it open with the mini key..........whew!!!!!!!!
The auto close works fine but either of my two electronic keys will not open. I hear the mechanism activating but the latch will not release and lift .
Does anyone no where the fuse is or a relay for this??
Previous owner stole the tool kit that has the fuse chart.
Does anyone have a link to a "Fuse Chart" for 03 CL600?
Thanks
