How old is your battery and what is its condition. One MB I had had a dying battery that selectively shut down everything as it slowly died. A new battery and alternator fixed all the problems. Not likely but worth looking into since all your problems seem to be unrelated other than battery.

Owner of R 350. We had problem like that, it was the secondary battery under the front passage seat that went out. I didn't know we had two batteries. RVT
