Electronics gone mad:Wiper,windows,driving assistance, AC not working out of the blue

Hey everyone,

Out of the blue the following cluster of issues have popped up at the same time:
- AC not working
- Seat heating not working
- Blinkers not working
- All driver's assistance functions show the message that they are currently unavailable
- Window can't be rolled up
- Inside door unlock button does nothing

There was a rain event before this happened if that means anything.

Anybody have any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks a lot in advance for any comments!

Might be either the main battery or the auxiliary battery that is going bad. Not sure what year your W205 is, but I think generally the main battery lasts about 5 years or so. Not sure about the auxiliary battery.

Thanks, that could be something to look at. It's a 2014 btw, which I failed to mention.
