03' c240
03' c240 cranks, but nothing else. help!
I'm at a loss, I hope someone can help!
No problem starting the car, it cranks and runs fine. The problem is nothing else works in the MB. No radio, windows, speedometer, gas gauge. Basically nothing electrical inside. and also can turn the lights on if I turn the headlights of auto.
my autohouse says its' the key fob, called MB and they thinks it something in the ignition. At a loss and car in parking lot. Not sure what to do. Really can't afford to take it to MB right now.

Misread the problem
EIS or SAM trouble is likely. Get this car onto a Star.
Check all fuses & connectors in front & rear SAM

Maybe a battery load test & alternator check is in order.
