HELP!! 2000 CLK 320 Ghost in the Machine...

Hey folks after hours and hours of online reading, and following some suggestions I'm still stuck with a car thats holding down my driveway. Heres a list with attempts to fix.

Main Issue no starting. Started as a temporary problem (Runs, then gas station won't restart etc)
Good battery, power goes to ignition, replaced CPS (thinking second went bad)

ABS, Electric stability control, Brake lights INOP
-Replaced Brake Control unit under dash, still get these warnings

Stereo, sometimes yes and sometimes no

Finally anyone of a schematic for the Convertible opener? Mine popped open and fell apart it appears to be wound up like a swiss watch.

Well thats it any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated its my one car other than my motorcycle and winter is coming soon...

What the heck is a "convertible opener" ?

Are you referring to the locking/unlocking handle for the front roof bow or S84, the main power roof open/close switch, located on the center console (see attached) ?

I recall reading a couple of threads regarding DIY repair of the handle in this forum or at http://www.benzworld.org

Best way to find them is using the appropriate and order of key words (e.g. 1st word has more weight the the next and so on) when searching.
