help - after cps install still dead ! malfunction

Hey Everybody,

clk500 died 3 times on me while driving !. i had it towed 2 times. the display says malfunction and all light and check engines in dashboard is on and the fuel meter says empty. Normally i could start the car the day after. I read every possible tread here on errors. everything pointed in the edirection of a crank shaft sensor. the last time it stalled, i could not start it up again the day after...

I ordered a cps and installed it. at the same time i cleaned the maf.

But the car still won't crank up !! i have a completely new key.
my electronics is bad as well after this.

I can't operate my roof
I can only open and close the doors with IR close to the handle.


Any help would be appreciated. I tried to disconnect the battery for a whole night.

Nothing changed.

Any fuse i can try to pull out ?
reset computer ?

How old is your battery? Check voltage, put on trickle charger if low, then try to start.

its not the newest battery. after these earlier engine stall i discharged my battery, so it has been almost done to zero. But i charged it a couple of times on "turtle" mode. - i have 12,9 voltage on it now after several start up test.
But i will try to charge it again. this moment.

as long as it can supply 13.2 voltage it should not be that problem for testing purpose. The inboard mercedes service says 13,2 v now. and still same error

Did you plug your car with an OBD II scanner? Was that the original code it threw? Did you clear the codes?

yes i did !.. 0 codes*- like totally dead.

but

GOOD NEWS !!!

i took every fuse apart in the whole car.... cleaned everything with CRC electric cleaner !

and guess what !.. when i turned the key it started !!.. Amazing ! people around me ( mechanics) told me i was crazy spending time on that.

i suspect it was from one of the fuses in the trunk, as i think i heard a small click at one of them.
So a loose fuse/dirt !... At least i got a new CPS sensor and cleaned the maf !

thank you all for your response
