hi i bought a 97 c180 to run around in to and from work. the air intake got blocked up and allowed rain water into the car through the heating duct and swompt the whole left side floor. since then the srs light is on all the time the abs light comes on when i stop but the car will not accelerate out of first gear unless i turn the engine off and then on again. is this something that is likely to stop once every thing is dry behind the dash again or am i going to have to perform open heart surgary on my baby-benz oh and any suggestions on how to get in behind the dash to dry everything out hope some one can help
