Hi there,
I'm a newbie and have a C Class 180 Kompressor 2007. Owned the car from new and has been perfect. I have had for 6 months an electronic problem that Merc can't solve and I'm over a £1000 out of pocket for the trouble.
I will be driving as normal then the indicator will start flashing double time and says the bulb needs replacing. The stereo and heating shuts down then restarts. The dashboard has the main beam & handbrake lights flashing crazy on & off. If I lock the car then restart it usually goes. In extreme cases (once every 2 weeks) I have to disconnect the battery and it resets all the electronics. This fault is so erratic that I have no idea when its going to happen.
I have replaced the car battery, replaced the fuse box cover (thought moisture might be getting in) and still no joy. Merc can't work it out and want to strip the whole car to look at the wiring (they also want to charge me hours of labour but still unsure if they will work it out!)
If anyone has any knowledge of this happening and how people may have cured this fault, I would be hugely thankful.
