Thank you brother my car went dead on my 09’ s550 and now I can’t get into the truck. I wish I new which fuses in the trunk to replace. Thank you and be blessed 🙏

Thanks bro. I had battery dead twice on my S550 2007 special edition. AAA had their tools to open the side door but took almost one hour.

I loved my S550....say loved, because I just sold it. As much as I did not want to.....It drove SWEET and has never had one stitch of body work or body repair....Not to mention, not a ding anywhere....I kept it garaged and took extremely good care of her.......Im glad I could help anyone who came across that problem that I had....

Thank you so much!!! I had the same problem. I really appreciate your time and efforts

Thank you thank you thank you! It definitely helped me before I was about to power up the alternator positive terminal!

That's good three minutes spent:)

Video could have been 20 sec but thanks, you solved my issue.

If your battery dies and you can't get inside your car because the doors are locked Insert valet key in driver's door turn key as if you are trying to unlock the door, leave key in unlock position pull on the door handle quickly 2 times and door will open S550

The mechanical key blade unlocks the driver’s door!! Stick the key turn it 90 degrees and simultaneously pull the door handle about ten times until the lock pops up.

Dang bro thanks I was freaking out

Thank you so much my brother

Yes sir I had the same problem problem with my 08 took me awhile to figure it out

Omg I love his video! I agree my car is from Fletcher Jones and they never offer outside assistance for a quick fix!!! Im going to see if I have a mysterious key hole! Thanks!!!

Thank you for posting this. I am having the same issue. Not sure how to tell if its the rear battery, or a fuse.

How do you get in after opening the trunk though?

In some cases When a Mercedes is completely dead, u can use the stick key BUT u have to pull on the door handle at the same time

Nice! Congrats. Unfortunately my E320 has its battery under the passenger seat. (And it doesn't have the secret key-hole anyway). Sigh.

Did you get the door open after you got in the trunk or what was the next step? I'm having this same issue.

This is great, BUT my valet key is in the car!!! It fell out of the key holder and I didn’t get it fixed yet. I have known about this option though. Good video.

I'm going through hell right now trying to figure out how to jump start my s class with lithium battery. The battery completely died and I can't find how to jump start a lithium battery

Yes, the driver’s door handle has a small plastic cap that you pop from the bottom and it will expose the lock cylinder
