Hey guys, my girlfriend bought a smart car almost a year ago and its been working fine but now its been happening a few times where her key will lock and unlock the car perfectly fine, nothing abnormal. but when she gets in and puts the key in the ignition, there is the key symbol on the dash that wont go away and show N or R or whatever which means its still in anti-theft mode.
When this happens she is literally stranded and cant go anywhere since obviously the car wont start. The last time this happened it took 4 days before it finally disengaged, then drove it around fine. Now this morning it happened again, no clue how long it will be until it will work again.
She already made an appointment with Mercedes, but there is quite a wait time. Is there anything we can do at home to try and fix this? I have mechanic experience, but I typically didnt ever deal with electrical issues, only mechanical issues.
