bourhay Posted January 11, 2024 Share Posted January 11, 2024 Indicated a potential internal malfunction of the battery.The alarm siren control unit requires replacement. The model W213 was released in the year 2017. Are there any other choices outside than the Mercedes original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlayNeo Posted January 11, 2024 Share Posted January 11, 2024 The cost of the main dealer component is around £110. There are no other choices available for the alarm siren in the aftermarket. Simple do-it-yourself method to alter it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captiva Posted January 11, 2024 Share Posted January 11, 2024 Attempt to open the device and replace the existing battery with a new one. This is a viable option provided the device is not saturated with water and does not have internal rusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BizarreBleak Posted January 11, 2024 Share Posted January 11, 2024 An alternative is to simply disconnect the device from its power source. This approach is often used by owners of earlier MB models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captiva Posted January 11, 2024 Share Posted January 11, 2024 The Mercedes-Benz in question is a 2017 model, which is quite new. It just sold for £22,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captiva Posted January 11, 2024 Share Posted January 11, 2024 Search through eBay for a pre-owned item, aiming to locate one that is identical to yours but from a more recent model of vehicle. 👍👍. As far as I know, it is located just behind the driver's side wheel arch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizarreBleak Posted January 11, 2024 Share Posted January 11, 2024 I did not claim that the car is old. Rather, I said that some individuals who own older vehicles are aware of the low probability of theft. Alternatively, the prevailing disregard for car alarms in contemporary times may serve as a sufficient justification for not investing in such a security measure. It raises the issue as to why the siren failed on a recently manufactured Mercedes-Benz vehicle. What is the subsequent course of action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captiva Posted January 11, 2024 Share Posted January 11, 2024 Large birds pushing on it, maybe triggering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
