Electrical problem?
Hello, i am new here and this forum has help me alot.
So i have c220cdi 2002. It has weird electrical problem, all interior, dashboard and outside lights starts to blink every 30-60 sec. There are no error codes and no battery warning on dashboard. What i already did to car is oil change, maf sensor, air filter, transmission oil change, battery change, tested alternator and everything is fine. So did anybody have this problem or know solution to this?

i know right. when i told mechanic about blinking lights he connected scaner and run all kinds of test for electronics. he tested radio, driver windows commands, rooftop commands, calibrated air fans etc. and everything was fine not a single error. it is not really a car breaking thing now, but it's very annoying and i have feeling that something else might break.

That should work. I am guessing there should be at least stored codes though. Might be worth your time to have the dealer scan it and get the print out from them.

THE C350
Are those pictures of your sam unit?
It obviously got wet and would need to be replaced as that corrosion is just asking for problems. Also would want to check out anything near that as well as the wires for similar damage.
