2006 C230 Electrical Problem

My 2006 C230 has electrical gremlins. While driving down the road the radio will shut off then the break light and the high beam light on the dash will flicker then the display will tell me low brake fluid see workshop and instrument cluster malfunction see workshop. After you pull over and turn the car off wait a couple of minuets then re-crank it it goes back to normal. Not sure what to do Mercedes mechanic cant seem to figure it out.

Hello Spike,

The W203 seems vulnerable to these type of problems when the battery is aging, alternator output is down or voltage regulator is faulty.Checks need to be done on these.

Good luck

That was not the problem. Now they say it is either the front SAM or the ignition.

Bad news. Pity they cannot diagnose it down to one of those ?
