Electrical problem?? E550 2011 covertible

Hey all,

My car odometer just jumped up from 122,000 to 199,000 and my car doesn't start anymore. I already changed the starter in april and they checked the battery, no problems. I'm taking it to Mercedes tomorrow, but maybe in the meantime you guys know what could be causing this issue? Seats don't work no power at all, but it does click when you turn the key and the rear lights work...idk what it could be..sucks

Thanks

My guess is a bad battery. If you put a meter on it and its less than 12.56 volts, it is low on charge. The best test is a test under load, which requires a special tester.

Thanks for your reply, they checked the battery though and said it was fine...hopefully that's all it is but idk. My clock on the dashboard is spinning all crazy after I turn the key and I'm hearing a whirring noise after it clicked over while the clock dial is spinning...sounds more serious but idk. Took it in the mercedes today, so well see what they say...170 an Hr to check this...insane
