Thank you MB DOC. The mirror lights do not flash as I am trying to start the car in start position but as soon as i turn the ignition switch to off position I see the mirror lights flashing(both red and green) How do I know if the DAS is actually the culprit. I can close and open the car with the remote. I have tried to open and close the door with the valet key and then try to start the car but no luck. Do I have to close the hood when I open and close the car? I am sorry if the alarm is the culprit will that stop even the starter from turning? I am not even seeing an engine light on the car when you first turn on the key? Thank you MB DOC for my other thread when I had the trouble getting the power to starter. Now I can get the starter to turn but the car will not start. Thanks.
