Need help with my c32
The other day my car did not start so I thought it was the battery had a guy from benz come over and he jumped the car he said the battery was still new and said I probably left the light on or something I drove the car next few days and today the car was dead again I had the benz guy come over again and he jumped the car again he told me to bring it to the benz dealer what do you guys think is causing the battery to die out so quickly I turned off the car and took the key out and I could still hear sounds from the car like the air condition or some type of noise still going on or something has anyone had a problem like these before

Here's a great reference thread:

Keep in mind that if you fix one, sooner or later the other one will also go bad.
Good Luck.
P.S. Make sure that you don't keep using the alternator to charge up the battery when it's dead. It will prematurely cause the alternator to wear out. So be sure to always charge up the battery prior to driving it.

Common problem that happens to just about every single C32 or W203. The seat control module goes bad which causes the battery to drain. You can unplug the seat modules and see which one is the cause or have a mechanic hook up a volt meter and unplug each seat fuse to see which one. The seat modules are about $200-300 each to replace or I'd recommend doing this awsome fix from one of our dedicated members here. I did it myself, altho since I'm not electrically inclined, I had my mechanic do it.
Thanks again to Temjinx2!
