W203 2004 multiple problems

Hi Guys,

Its my first post, so do forgive me if i am not clear but I could really use your help.

I drove my car this morning, worked absolutely fine, came home parked up. When I opened the car, the car unlocked however after that went complete dead out of the blue.

Got a jump start the car started finally after a long time, as soon as i connected the jump leads the washer system came on and the headlights turned on.

The car started and drove fine, however the left arm is completely disable i.e. i cant use my wipers, washers, indicators or any other function. As soon as I start the car the headlights turn on automatically.

On my dash I have a brake warning light stating brake fluid, main beam light and my fuel tank shows no diesel (I had half a tank before I parked up). There are some other electrical faults e.g. electric mirrors not folding/unfolding, car doors do not automatically lock and many more.

Has anyone came across all these problems at once? I tried looking on here but everyone has had individual problems.

Any guidance or help would be really appreciated.

Thank you
K

I done some further research and it turns out it could be the SAM, as I believe I may of have connected the jump leads to the wrong terminals whilst jump starting. Anyone else would like to advance on this?
