Hi I'm getting a malfunction warning which says battery convenience functions are temporarily unavailable can anyone tell me what this means I have changed the alternator last year and at the same time I changed the SBC battery does this mean the main battery could be faulty.

Hey guys, Hoping for some help with this latest problem. My drivers seat has started buzzing. Listening from the back it sounds like it's coming from the bottom/underneath. It has memory seats. I've moved the seat all which way and the sound is still there. When driving it stops...

The car is booked in to see the dealer in a few days but I was interested to know if anyone else has similar problems to me? So first thing is the parking assist has completely stopped working. It doesn't even recognise a parking space of any kind, even the little arrow in the dash has gone...

Hi folks, I have a 2005 Vito that seems to have developed a bizarre electrical fault! Basically, as I'm driving along, all the electrics (windows, instrument cluster, wipers, lights, pretty much everything, EXCEPT the stereo and heater) will cut out completely for a few seconds and then come...

2000 cl500 I've been on holiday and my car isn't the same. I started the car as normal and the date and time were wrong. The top row of switches rear blind, parktronic suspension switches etc now don't work. I disconnected the battery for 10 mins but no change. I changed the date and time all...

Hi, Apologies for the slightly long post in advance. I have a strange issue on my W204 C320 Cdi (2008) that I am hoping someone with more knowledge than me can shed some light on! Basically during my travels today, I got into my car and drove down to the shops. I noticed when I got out that...

Hi all. Newbie here requiring info and help on a strange electrical problem. My 2005 Vito has started with a strange issue in that, occasionally whilst driving along, all electrical items cease functioning. Everything except the engine which is fine. No dashboard, no lights etc. When the van...

So, I've had a problem in the past few months with the old girl (W203 C220 cdi 2003) If I don't start her up for at least 3 days, the battery is completely flat. Checked that everything is switched off too. I've had to call out the breakdown guys each time. The first guy told me the battery...

I had the not uncommon issue of no rf button key fob locking, poor radio reception, blown fuse number 8 in the boot. parking somewhere less salubrious made me chuck in a replacement fuse, but not having a 7.5a and only a 10 to hand, i didnt think it would matter that much. woo hoo, I...

My first post to ANY forum, I'm desperate! be kind :-). I've had an 2005 Reg SL350 for 10 years.. Throughout its life it's had various electrical problems...but I think it's now finally died. The key wont turn in the ignition & it's stuck in Park. All electronics won't work, including the cent...

Hi all, My account won't let me access electronics area :/ Yesterday when I turned my car on the cluster was totally blank no revs, speedo, indicators etc but engine started fine. Today the engine wont idle steady and its revving up itself and me pressing the throttle doesn't make any...

Hi, Got my e220 coupe finally running today with a new ovp, however the central locking and windows (all bar the rear passenger) do not work. No noise from central locking pump either.. Did change the comfort module as it had previously been just clicking every second or so but now it's...

Sorry for posting here guys but I need help urgently! 1998 W202 C230K with catastrophic electrical failure - I've had to pull over as I have no indicators, no central locking and no electric windows. I can't get the boot open but I do have headlights and the stereo still works. Anyone have...

Hopefully a simple question to those who know: both window operation and sunroof stopped working at the same time, have checked fuses and all appears ok - what should I check next please? Actually the rear n/s window operation stopped a few weeks ago. Thanks, Bill

My 3month old battery bought direct from MB needs replacing (can't hold a charge, insufficient cranking amps). MB tell me if there is an electrical drain on the battery the warranty is voided because it would have killed the battery. Oh and then I have to pay for labour in determining the...

I have an ongoing problem that I have mentioned before but basically the roof button stays lit as does the headrest button the mirrors stop working the remote boot release and all the windows. To clear I disconnect the battery for 30 seconds then reconnect and go through setting windows and...

Hi, As some of you are aware I was recently involved in an accident which saw the demise of my cherished and loved W202 C55. I have now found a replacement for it a CLS 55 AMG, (will add some pics up of it when I can get it clean) which I bought on Friday. I bought it with some issues (which...
