Great video! Did removing the bottom metallic lock part cause any permanent damage or can you just open it without risk? I opened the top plastic part and found all gears are fine, so my suspicion is that there is something wrong with the sensors you mentioned in the bottom part (my lock intermittently doesn't recognize it has to close). Thanks for any advise (I don't feel like forking out close to 250 euro for a part)!
Is this part located in the rear gate? I would like to see if my gears are broken. On my W211 the rear gate cannot be open by remote or by the door switch. When I try to do it I can hear the gears-motor working but failing to release the door latch. However, I can close the rear gate by power switch on the rear door? I can also open and close the gate by hand. Just curious what is preventing the door from being unlatched when trying to use the remote and the door power switch located on the driver's door (not the rear gate) On my W211 wagon I can't open the rear gate by remote. However, I can close the door by power button built in the rear gate. I can also open and close the gate by hand. When I try to open the gate by remote or by the power button located in the driver's door I can hear the gears - motor working but just failing to release the latch. I'm reluctant to take this to the dealership due to potentially high cost since I do not really need this feature very much but just curious to see what is preventing the door to be open by remote or door sw
Thanks for asking, but I'm not a technician and I don't even have the car any more... I'd probably look for a similar vehicle locally and see if you can buy the latch assembly, if that's what is giving you problems.
It didn't work out... I'm not much of an aluminum welder anyways, and this is a pretty tiny piece. I ended up finding a wagon that was being parted out locally, and bought the latch for a really good price.
First spray wd40 on catch and keep opening n closing tailgate handle .

Any advice how to remove the part from the door? trying to find some DIY's online
Good day sir. My w211 electric trunk hung open on steps. Do you know the reason or the solution for this problem please.

Do you know where the close sensor is?
My rear latch works mechanically but if I plug it in it keeps trying to close itself
No, I'm not sure where the sensor is or if it's part of one of the sensors inside the unit.
Who ever designed this lock he will go stright to the hell 😠 i was working on same lock
Can't they just make it simpler
Hi, and how about this welding?? I think my MB has the same problem.... co I`m curious
