CLK200 Kompressor W208
I seriously need some help! CLK-W208
Hey guys. So a month or so back I was removing the exhaust manifold off of my CLK 200 Kompressor to get it welded. When I installed everything back the car started fine. I went inside the house to get changed, went back out 10 minutes later and car wouldn't start! All lights came on dash but engine would not turn over, simply nothing. I left it like that overnight and next day the car started. It has now been running perfect for a month.
2 days ago I decided to install my Eibach Pro Sport springs. I did the left side with no issues and then did the right side. After doing the right front the car wouldn't start again and I'm unable to start it since.
Are there any sensors for motion or something similar I can get to? The reason I'm asking is that both times it wouldn't start is when the front right side was lifted up. I have also noticed the drivers door locked itself whilst the rest of the car stayed open and when I press the button for the alarm towing mode it does not flash like it usually does. Any ideas? I would appreciate any help! Thanks

When the car does not start is it completly dead with no engine crank?
I had an issue like this on my old W210 E Class which turned out to be corrosion at the for the main battery cable that runs from the front to the back and passes through the passenger foot well via a bolt connection, which gets corroded with all the water that hits it. CLK have the same set up and I have covered this terminal in grease with a plastic cap as a lessons learned.
