New guy here with some weird issues with my C240...
Hey everyone!
I joined to try to figure out what in the world is wrong with my car.
One afternoon my car started to act up. The SRS light came on, the rear headrests wouldn't go down with the button, my right rear turn signal wouldn't work, but the flasher didn't make the rapid sound and no error messages.
Later that day I looked outside and the right parking light was on, so I made sure the switch wasn't turned... It wasn't. The next day the battery was dead, and since it was old, I picked up a new one. Car started up, but after driving about 140 miles to and from a meeting the battery/alternator warming came on along with the SOS light, coolant level warning.... Didn't make sense. Then the car died.
I'm unsure if it would be the Front Right SAM or maybe the voltage regulator/alternator.
And help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Justin

What kind of battery did you install? What voltages do you measure now (off and idle)?
