Happy Sunday everyone.

My W203 woes continue. Has anyone ever heard of a module in the car going nuts and flooding the CAN network?
My PITA 1999 C240 has gone from brake lights stuck on to engine running without the key and now the alarm goes off and the radiator fan starts as soon as I reconnect the battery. I now can't turn the key to undo the steering lock to get it off the drive.

Cheers.
 
Somethings lost communication with the car, maybe main ecu, you need it checked by someone familiar with Mercedes, doubt you will get an answer from a forum, no water ingress in the car?
 
Battery health maybe? Low strength batteries can do some weird stuff to cars.
 
Vermin?

I once saw a W203 with trashed wiring behind the dash..

Mouses! :doh:
 
Thanks all.

Battery voltage is good.
 
Update: Scrapped it for £30. Took out the good modules to sell.
 
Don't spend it all at once. :thumb:
