Hey guys
First I wanna say I did research, but nothing helps.

Does your SOS light stays red steady or blinks?
I had this problem for a while now, I remember when I first picked up my car the SOS light stays red without blinking.
almost 6 months now, the SOS light, the "i" light, and the wrench light blinks at the same time.

I don't see a SOS malfunction error when i start my car (like most people)
I don't have NAV in my car, no bluetooth and my car is an 2005, so that rules out the analog to digital antenna problem.

They three lights just blinks together, maybe it blinks every 5-10 secs.
SOS turns from bright red to a lighter dimmer red color when it blinks.
The "i" and the wrench turns oranges when they blink.

I don't know what's wrong with them. It's just annoying to see the SOS light blinking all the time.

 

Thats what my SOS does too on my '05 500. i cant figure out why.

 

funny you brought up the SOS. my SOS light would come on the dash for about 2 months straight. then it went away. it's been months now, and i forgot all about it.it will probably go away.electrical gremlins with these cars.

 

I dont get an SOS light on my dash only the overhead SOS light blinks from bright to dim.

 

No one knows why??

 

I get random malfunctions on my car that disappear. I guess it all just depends how your car's computer is feeling that day. If you bring it to a Mercedes specialist while it's happening, they'll be able to diagnose it.

My phantom error is a passenger airbag deactivated. On 4 seperate occassions, my trunk opened while my car was in motion... SUPER SCARY!

 

That's crazy Pat.
BTW, ur lights look great.

 

Thanks!

 

Thats a strange problem, perhaps just remove the light bulb?

 

I have the same problem. Car's at the dealership right now getting checked out. Just had the Teleaide malfunction cleared today, but lights still blinking. I'll keep you updated...

P

 

just a question but do you have the bluetooth?

 

No Bluetooth, no NAVI, no AUX input, no nothing. LOL

 

Just got back from the dealer yesterday. Signed a paper releasing reliability from Teleaid and had them disconnect it from the whole system...No more flashing lights or Teleaid malfunction.

P

 

I don't have Bluetooth either. Could that be a reason for the blinking SOS light?

 

If I know the answer I wouldn't start this thread buddy.

 

hey "buddy" that was a rhetorical question meant for anyone else reading this thread. I didnt expect you to answer it moron.

 

lol

 

I get an SOS error once every couple months but it goes away after a few minutes.

 

my car trunk used to open while im driving constantly then i fiqured out what the problem was there is a green button inside the trunk that allows u to open the trunk from the inside well i disconnected it and the trunk stopped opening by its own

 

lol

 

Did you see or know how to disconnect the whole system by chance? My 13 SL550 does same thing and I’ve been wanting to put it up on turo or some rental site as I don’t drive it much but that is an issue that I have to deal with first. Alone with getting my seat to move up. For some reason the driver seat won’t move up at all. Stuck all the way down which is good for me but not a smaller person. If anyone has way to tackle that as well. That’s not taken to dealer, can’t afford there prices right now or ever want to pay there prices even if I could honestly LOL.
