problem with my s500 2000
Hi
my problems started this year in january when i sended my s500 for a paint job.
when i went to get it it wouldnt accelerate so i towed it and searched for errors with a computer atmercedes they fixed the problem and when i got home i noticed the carhad lovered itself but only in the front so i searched it again but didnt find anything wrong. I looked in the engine compartment to check the relays and fuses but found a cable (picture below) that looked like it was ripped off i tried to find where it came off front but didnt find it anywhere i even checked out my friends s500 but i looked like it was connected way back under the fuse box i didnt want to screw my friends car so i went to a scrap and searched for a s500 i didnt find one and ive been struggling to fix it. Last week i read some where that if i started the car and let it run for about ten minutes the car would rise up by it self so i went to start it but nothing happens when i turn the key no sound or nothing i bought a new battery and still nothing ive never had this problem before the car would always start. Also the heater and the right side electrics of the car wont work.

Have you tried taking it back to the dealer. If they supposedly fixed it then apparently someone must have left that cable loose in the process.

Has the car been sitting outside in the rain? The blower and right side electrics not working suggest water flooding due to a clogged reed valve , there was a class action lawsuit about it

No i havent been there since i collected it in january. The cable has been ripped off i think that they took the computer that the cables were attached to. I think its too late now i need evidence i need to know what the part looks like.

Yes its been sitting in the rain for the past months but it always started. I also think that its because of the water but all electrics except the passenger door and blinkers on the right side work but it wont start the battery is new and is standing at 12.8 volts.
