2004 MB E 320
New and need help
Hello to everyone.Newbie and I need help.I have a 04 E320.Today the ac blower fan quit.Then on way home warning says reduced stopping power and I think "stop driving".Only 2 miles from home so made it.
I checked fuses I read codes on dash scrolling with steering wheel controls.May have cleared or changed something.Next would not start.Cooling fan ran fast when key turned on.Everything worked just didnt turn over.
Battery 2 days old and fully charged.Swapped in correctly and drove 200+ miles no issues.I tried my spare key and same thing.
Next attempt to crank and key wont turn.Spare key same thing.Both are working(checked with camera)>Now no windows and no fob functions like trunk open or door lock.Window stuck down.
Only thing that works is interior lights and radio.Oddly now the steering wheel will not lock.Turns freely.
I`m certainly no MB mechanic but have been around Benz since 1968 and I`m at a loss.
Maybe someone out there had same problem or can suggest a process of elimination.
Beautiful car with great paint and interior.Hate to have to sell for rough book value.Like I said all was fine and then "Murphy" struck cause I was enjoying the ride too much.
Thanks for suffering a newbie.
