my car WAS dead

My car went dead yesterday, after we left it for about 2 hours. Came back and found the car literally dead. Left if overnight, the next morning I open the bonnet and it worked again. But, on the display, it showed "ESP malfunctioned". Then I switched off the car and started again, then "no malfunction found".

Anybody in this world know what is happening to my car, C200 Kompressor 2001. Thanks

Yes look for my post about dead battery.............your ESP will reset itself, however just to let you know I have a 01 C320 and right now I have a dead short somewhere in the system, the members here are indicating it is the seat control modules..............but check out the thread

You might be wrong coz my battery was not drained, furthermore I could start the car the next morning. So literally the car was dead for 10 hours ( seems like a problem with battery connection), then after that everything back to normal.

I hope that problem never occur again.

This would be a good time to have a dealer check it out...

I happened only one-off. The dealer might charge me 3-5 hours of work for the thing un-resolved.

Next time it may not be so nice...Just see if you can convince them to diagnose the issue. You don't want to be stranded.
