2010 c63 no start or dash lights???

Hey guys I just picked up a 2010 c63 and now I am having this issue. First off the key battery is good and so is the battery in the car and all connections clean. So.... The dash won't turn on at all. When I press the push start it shows the high beam indicator and front and rear fog lamp indicator and turns on the footwell lights and then turns off. Also I can operate the nav and stereo ....Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Sounds like a battery, but you said it was good. Are you really sure about that? Batteries can really fool you.

Yeah I tried too jump it and I also load tested the battery. I am pretty good with figuring out things but this one has me out of solutions. I had my bmw 645ci throw me for a run around with battery issues but I can't have this car stay at the dealership for 2 months while they take guess.

When jumping it didn't even crank?

These newer cas have complex security/starting sytems
Have you tried the other key?
Does the key lock/unlock the car?

It won't crank at all. Key buttons won't open the doors or look the door but I can hear a relay firing. After about 20 mins of cycling the key my dash came up and said pre safe and went away again????

Sounds like u got a bad keyless-go module in ur car. Try removing the push button & start the car by turning the key in the ignition.

If it starts, it's ur keyless go.. If it doesn't start, gotta check the battery or smth electrical.

Hey guy’s thanks for all of the help I really appreciate it.

So I got it to start yesterday night. The keyless go doesn't work, andneither did the key, but i heard a rattle coming from inside the key. I pulledit apart to find that a little resistor beside the coil at the narrow end hadfallen off the circuit board..... I soldered it back on and running great.Keyless go is still toast...

Pretty savvy on the repair there.

I was thinking security lockout. My keyless go system is quirky at best.
