maybe try disconnecting the battery for a few hours and see if it resets. be sure to reset your windows and esp system afterward. do you have a star diagnostic tool? did you try resetting the codes with star? they should resett if you delete the memory on the star. if they come back after that you'll have to check each problem.

yes i did disconnect the battery and nothing happen
i don't have a star but when i replaced the p/s pump they rest it and told me i have couple of module error ?
and they turn off the telaid /sos but when i start the car still telling me its defective
thanks

sam?

tusabes

I'm betting his trunk electronics got wet which would affect the lights and navi
Very common problem

Dmtypr

Could you elaborate more specifically ? This caught my attention preparing for plan B if after replacing my rear sam issues continue...

tusabes

My trunk got wet causing $6500 damage . Insurance took care of it
Very common problem
On the 215 chassis

Dmtypr

How does this affect the brake lights? Seems interesting Im having [No sound] on my radio before having troubles with parking brake light.

Anything in particular the Dealer changed?

tusabes

It's all related , my radio went out too, water gets in there and damages everyting

Dmtypr

But "where?" exactly? Did they replace the sam also? If so could make more sense. But little water in where the DVD sits does not seem to me would cause so much drama. Which in turn is what I found....Lots of water in the battery area and little water in dvd area. I think my rear sam is out due to water damage cant wait to replace it to see what happens

tusabes

Both sides , by battery and cd changer . My Sam did not get damaged because i caught it quickly before it entered passenger compartment . If you drive with the water it will slosh around under the passenger floor causing $10-20k damage


Note this will reoccur over and over again if you drive in the rain or leave your car outside

Dmtypr

But are you talking about rust damage done? Or components? I would like to know the components the dealer changed..

10k to 20k seems way to high

tusabes

No not rust damage , just electrical components
the labor alone is several thousands of dollars to remove the interior and trunk and each component is near $1000. You have the power trunk , the pse, cd changer , amp, nav, sams , wiring harnesses, seat modules etc.

Of course that is Mercedes dealership prices and new parts
If you do the work yourself and find used parts it can be done for much less

Where does the water leak into the trunk from? Mine is a daily driver and at the moment don't have covered parking. If like to know so I can be proactive.

tusabes

Any variety of places , sunroof drains , reed valve under the windshield , trunk lid , taillights . They all are ways for water to enter the front or rear

If you have the power trunk make sure it always closes fully
