Arrow issues with 98 c230

Guys first of all i love this forum..

i have 98 c230 which just came back from repair for the dlr, it would not start, the replace crank, and mass air flow senssor, and replaced spark plugs.. total cost was about 1200.00

Now when the car is turned on, i hit the ac/heater switch it does not turn on, there is no display which comes up.

when i hit the rest button it comes on.. any idea where i should look?

also i have to lights which come up ABS and BAS lights...

You paid for the service..demand it!

I would not leave the lot until it's fixed properly..it's your money fight for it. Also, let us know who this dealer is so we can avoid the losers too....
