In the end the card was removed with electrical contact cleaner sprayed on the fob by the wrecker driver so i could get my card out.
I was recovered, unit and trailer back to Hinckley.
The Merc was 67 reg, and key fob was in this condition

I take it you’ve held the key fob as close as possible to the start button while pressing start?
Don’t you put the key in a port next to start button , or that’s how it is on 17 plate actross ive had of late
Sorry, I’m used to a 2019+ model with mirrorcams, there is now no slot.
That’s good as I spent the first 5 mins ( 1 st time I used one ) wondering why it wouldn’t start , fob in lorry pushing start button, nothing , google sorted problem

So I think from now on any key fob in said condition is a defect?
So ended up doing nearly 17 hour shift.
