Mercedes-Benz C-Class- Avantgarde- 51 Plate - Mercedes C180, 51 Plate, Electrical Problems - normski65

Hi, Can anybody help please.

I bought my C class advantgarde from london, i drove it back to yorkshire, did maybe 400 miles.

The car is lovely & drives well.

However, just before christmas when it was raining, i parked the car up, it was perfect.

Next day, i started it & all sorts of lights came on the dashboard.

Now if I turn the ignition on, Its showing the following :

ESP-Electrical Stability -Visit workshop

SRS-Restraint System - Visit workshop

ABS-abs system - Visit Workshop

BAS- Brake Assis t- visit workshop

These are on the main dashboard, by the speedo, other lights come on are, Abs, Srs, Engine management light, & airbag off light

If i turn ignition off, it says 3 Faults, Sometimes it says 1 malfunction.

The problem apart from this is the following have stopped working,

Windscreen Wipers

Hook up sensor switch on the dashboard

Esp button

Horn

Mirror Pull in for parking closes, but doesnt opn, i have to manually pull mirrors out

Cigarette lighter.

I have checked all fuses with an electrical tester & checked the yellow relays which i was told are for the wiper.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM

Can anybody help ?????

Get the battery checked out, it could be that the voltage is too low.

Agree with this. Modern cars need healthy batteries to keep all the systems working properly, otherwise they can throw out all sorts of spurious faults.

And it has been cold recently, just the sort of thing to show up a weak battery.
