Hi-
I have an anti theft message display that kills navigation, radio, telephone etc..also the gas gauge is not working, not sure if the two issues are related. My car still runs and I have taken it to 2 mechanics with no avail. Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks
Dana-

 

Thanks in advance. I have a 2008 ML320 the ran fine day before went to crank couple of days later and would not start. Turning over fine. Checked fuel pressure in line feeding ( from filter) high pressure pump and it is there but none in the fuel rail. Is there a way to check the high pressure pump to see if it's bad. There are 2 plugs that plug into this would one of them shut a valve and not let in fuel ;say if the crank position sensor is faulty. If it's faulty is that something that happens. Would the high pressure pump just go out like that?

 

I hope I am typing in the rt place. happy newby over here. 04 s430 240000ish. 4 months to me book like maintenance history from previous family. was running flawless bam light dimmer cluster blowing up with message es. pep boys ( had too go there because it stopped in front of it) said dead battery. installed agm 900 1000 bat. nothing crazy but running a little hot. 4 hrs later dead again. no acceleration. light dimmer basically dead in the water. swapped battery they said bad cell. well this one did have enough volts to crank it. so charged it it would turn over but nothing. noticed 8 fuses blown. ???? knuckle heads might have sparkked something or arched it when installation. I don't know there was nothing blown before. anyway. battery is holding 12.8 and car will start but it is getting hot fast no compressor for airmatic no command center. blank screen. coolant light on abs esp airmatic abs passenger window no radiator fan.i replaced fuses and check relay s but I am not certain on all relays. voltage meter reads 12.8 not running and I think around the same running at the battery. sorry car isn't with me and I am trying to learn this over electrical chariot.everyone keep a saying it is the alternator but they think American. I am trying to work backwards or forward on everything. I don't have deep pockets so if I get to thelocal mb boys not dealership but the car maintenance history home they said 2-3 hrs of diagnosis realistically then searching. crap that 140 hrthat 420 and no parts yet. I understand and don't feel that they are bending me over that's just the world of mb. I am trying to learn as much as I can without pulling parts and slinging Benjamin s around yet. any advice or education pointers etc. would be greatly appreciated. I am just throwing it out there. but it seems like the voltage is not being shared correctly. brand new battery should fire everything up as least a short period even if the alternator is bad I thought. that's just a rookie talking out loud. lots of avenue s on these on these babies. thanks

 

Hi, thanks for the offer. - I'm wondering if you can assist with the following issue that's driving me crazy.

I've recently taken my 2017 SL 550 to a local Merced mechanic and this was their diagnose and repair:

COMPUTER TEST PERFORMED. ABS/ESP ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED. INSTALLED NEW CUSTOMER SUPPLIED ESP CONTROL MODULE AND PROGRAMMED. RESET AND ERASED FAULT CODES.

But only a few miles afterward I'm getting other alerts and the engine reduced the speed, and had to stop, wait a few minutes, the messages cleared up bu the engine light continues on. Im not trusting the mechanic that much, I wonder if there's any recommendation from you. Not Sure if it's safe to drive it or should I tow it to a mechanic? let me know what your thoughts are.

Thanks in advance .

note; I had this message once before - I parked the car fr maybe a week, turned it on and used it for almost a full day without any issues or lights, but at the end of the day, I got these messages again:
