Error message about trunk partitioner when trying to open soft top on MB clk 320

Either the boot lid is misaligned and/or maladjusted or the catch is worn or otherwise not working correctly.

Typically it is misalignment or maladjustment that causes excessive wear of the catch or basically a severe lack of good maintenance.

So you have no other option but to jump start the car, by finding power cables in engine bay or pribe open the trunk with a crow bar, or have i towed to a auto shop so a professionel locksmith can open the trunk for you.

If the "black part" you are talking about is the "trunk partition"(which should come up as a "fault" on the dash when you try and cycle the top) then there are several things to check. The partition itself should snap into the retracted position(forward), and back. If it doesn't there are two struts(also called air springs) that have lost their charge and are not holding the partition in place. It has to be held solidly in place to set the switch on the left side(driver side) in order for the top to go down. If it's at all floppy, it won't set that switch and the top won't cycle. I've found the hard way this is a common problem.

The springs should have viscous fluid in them that prevents opening fast. Replace again.

plug a jump pack in to the cig lighter should do it

I purchased a MB CLK 320 and set the radio frequency and successfully put the freq in memory, however, the radio blinks tthe freq. Is this normal or do I have to enter another key to stop the radio from blinking?

hello, i live in Mexico and I got the same issue with my MB, the problem is the Alarm Battery, it must to be replaced. Meanwhile remove Fuses 8 and 9 (into the trunk) and 41 (next to dashboard), this will disconnect the anti theft system. for safety when lock/unlock the car press the remote in front of the infrared port. Good luck solving this issue, for me was very very stressing.

Hi, The battery is located in the trunk, under the trunk mat.
